Take advantage of the EMPLOYEE RETENTIONCREDIT (ERC) for COVID-19 Relief

NBCI IS FIGHTING FOR OUR CHURCHES! 
YOUR CHURCH MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR EMPLOYEE TAX CREDITS
Your church has been negatively impacted by forced closures and capacity limitations through no fault of your own.

• The ERTC program can potentially provide you with tens of thousands of dollars with no limitations on how you utilize them. What additional good can you do in your community with $20,000 -$30,000 or maybe much more?
• If you have W2 employees, you may qualify (even if you have previously received a PPP loan) Since this is a federal program, there are regulations and rules to navigate, which is why the ERTC Fund program has experts to get every penny your church deserves by doing the hard part for you.
• Go to www.ertcnbci.com today and complete a simple questionaire to learn how much you may qualify for! It costs absolutely nothing to check an once you know how much you qualify for, you may choose to enter into a contractual agreement where the CPA firm will be paid up to 15% of whatever is recovered - most of it AFTER you get money from the IRS.

What is the Employee Retention Credit (ERC)? The ERC was not widely used until March 2021, when updated IRS regulations made this type of COVID-19 Relief more accessible.

In short: thousands of businesses who once picked between the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and ERC can now possibly use both, by amending their Quarterly Form(s) 941.

The credit refunds payroll costs already spent. There is no need to pay back the ERTC, and it is in a sense, similar to the stimulus check that taxpayers received. Any business structure under 500 employees can potentially qualify. This includes non-profits and start-ups.

We encourage you to provide targeted & impactful economic empowerment (Deuteronomy 8:18-19) to all of the small businesses in your commmunity.

Remember, they were also greatly impacted by Covid shutdowns and would absolutely welcome your community outreach (Matthew 5:14-16) as you share www.ertcnbci.com with them so we can help keep these businesses open & employing our brothers and sisters.

Facts and Good News About COVID-19 Vaccines

• 150,000 Black Churches Support What Black Doctors are saying about the COVID-19 Vaccines
  Following a thorough safety review, including two meetings of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the pause regarding the use of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 Vaccine in the U.S. was lifted on April 23, 2021 for adults aged 18 years and older in the United States.
• Why Were the Vaccines Made So Fast?
  The vaccines were made so fast because scientists found a new way to make vaccines that works really well called the mRNA method. Many vaccines in the future will use this method and will be made just as fast. That’s very good news!
