Eric and Art discuss the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) and the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC).  Basically, before December 27 dentists who took the PPP loan (which was a much better deal) could not apply for the ERTC. When former President Trump signed the Stimulus bill in late December, it allowed business owners to file to claim the ERTC if they qualified, even if they took out a PPP loan. This now allows us to bifurcate wages paid in 2020 so that potentially a dentist can get full forgiveness of their PPP loans as well as claim a tax credit equal to as much as $5,000 per employee.

To qualify for this, a dentist would either have to show at least a 50% reduction in their revenues for, most likely, Q2 of 2020 vs. Q2 of 2019, or show that any government unit (city, county, state) ordered them to shut down. Two days ago, the IRS issued 103 pages of rules on how this works.
