 The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) created Employee Retention Credit, which has since been extended by the federal Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act of 2020 and by the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Employers who claim these credits for federal purposes must reduce their wage expense by the amount of the credits. Since California has no similar credits, an adjustment is needed on Schedule CA (540NR) for employers to fully claim the deduction.
