In December 2020 Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act which expanded the FFCRA to cover self-employed individuals, freelancers, independent contractors, and gig workers — making you now eligible for “immediate refund” tax credits. The Government is now paying you back for the time you lost earning money because of the COVID pandemic.
Filing with the IRS can be challenging, complex, and time-consuming, and many people are worried about —
Do I have the right paperwork?
Are these calculations correct?
How do I know if I’m approved?
That’s why Ahad&Co is here to help.
We’ll take care of amending your tax returns and submitting your application to the IRS, so you can get back to doing what matters most: growing your business.
If you’re self employed, a 1099 contractor, a freelancer, or a small business owner and file a 1040 tax return with attached schedule C and your business was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and/or 2021.
We provide you with exceptional service and get you the tax credit you deserve. If, for any reason we aren’t able to secure your refund, you pay nothing. We assume all the risk.
The Sick and family Leave tax credit for self-employed and 1099 workers is for eligible self-employed individuals or independent contractors.
Under the FFCRA, eligible self-employed individuals or independent contractors could claim a refundable tax credit against their income tax liability for up to 100% of the qualified sick and family leave equivalent amounts, subject to certain limitations, if they were unable to work or telework due to COVID-19-related reasons.
The qualified sick leave equivalent amount was the lesser of either $511 per day or 100% of the average daily self-employment income for each day an individual was unable to work or telework because they were subject to a quarantine or isolation order, had COVID-19 symptoms and were seeking a medical diagnosis, or were caring for someone who was subject to a quarantine or isolation order or who had COVID-19 symptoms.
The qualified family leave equivalent amount was the lesser of either $200 per day or 67% of the average daily self-employment income for each day an individual was unable to work or telework because they needed to care for a child whose school or place of care was closed due to COVID-19.
To claim the tax credit, eligible self-employed individuals or independent contractors would report the qualified sick and family leave equivalent amounts on their 2019, 2020 or 2021 tax return, depending on when the leave was taken.
For the most part, all we require is your 2019, 2020 and 2021 tax return including your schedule C and a copy of your drivers license for identification.
Not at all. We basically have an agreement letter on our website that you’ll need to read, sign and date. You will also need to upload a copy of your 2019, 2020 and 2021 tax returns and a copy of your drivers license. That’s basically it.
We try to make the process as easy and stress free as we can for you. Once we have your tax returns we’ll take over and get everything filed for you.
We will need to file an amendment on your tax return. We do this all the time. All we require from you is a copy of your 2019, 2020 and 2021 tax returns and a copy of your drivers license and we’ll handle the rest.
Our fee schedule is really simple. We charge no fees to calculate the credit for you. After we calculate the amount of your tax credit, if you decide to move forward our fee to amend the taxes is $500-$1500 for sick and family leave per year.
There are a few factors that go into calculating your tax credit refund amount. The biggest factors would be:
Your net income from your schedule C on your 2019, 2020 and 2021 tax returns.
How many days you were out sick or told to quarantine with Covid-19
How long you might have cared for a loved one affected by Covid-19.
How long any schools or daycare centers were closed (and you were forced to care for a minor child during the closings).
