What is the SETC Tax Credit?
learn more , which stands for “Self-Employed Tax Credit”, is a unique tax credit created to provide financial relief to self-employed workers who were negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This credit was implemented as part of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) to support sole proprietors, independent contractors, gig workers, and other self-employed professionals experiencing economic challenges due to the pandemic.
One of the key features of the SETC tax credit is that it is a refundable credit, not a loan. This means that eligible self-employed individuals can receive the credit as a refund, even if they have no tax liability. The credit significantly reduces their tax burden on a dollar-for-dollar basis, potentially leading to a significant increase in their tax refund.
The SETC tax credit is intended to give self-employed workers financial support comparable to the paid sick and family leave benefits typically offered to employees. By offering this credit, the government understands the unique challenges faced by the self-employed sector during the pandemic and attempts to mitigate income disruptions and promote greater financial stability for these professionals.
