Can you receive ERC funds if you are self-employed?
Yes, you may be eligible to receive ERC funds if you are self-employed, but only for wages that you paid your employees during 2020 and 2021. Self-employed individuals cannot qualify wages paid to themselves. You must have had W-2 employees on your payroll to qualify for an ERC refund, and only those payroll expenses, including employer healthcare expenses, will qualify.
