• ERC Survey 2- Part 1 of 2 Parts- Full or Partial Shutdown and Nominal Impact- Version 3

  • This survey is in two parts;

    1) Part 1.  You will be asked a series of questions to determine the impact on your business due to COVID, such as travel restrictions, operational impact, customer impact, and supply chain disruptions.  Also, in Part 1, you will be asked to indicate what state(s) your business operates out of.  Based on the state or states that your business operates in, you will be provided a link to Part 2 of the survey for each state that your business operates out of.

    2) Part 2.  In part 2, you will be asked to indicate the full or partial suspension by a government order(s) you were operating under AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, the dates that your business was impacted by each separate full or partial suspension by a government order(s).

     

    Note: Part 1 without Part 2 will not allow us to qualify your business under full or partial suspension by a government order(s) for two reasons;

    1) Your business, your customer(s), and your suppliers must be subject to full or partial suspension by a government order(s) to qualify under full or partial suspension by a government order(s); therefore, we MUST know the specific full or partial suspension by a government order(s) that your business was subject to.

    2) The qualification under full or partial suspension by a government order(s) is limited to the time period that your business was subject to each separate full or partial suspension by a government order; therefore, it is absolutely critical that you provide the period of time that your business was subject to each separate full or partial suspension by a government order.

     

    Note: Survey 2, Part 2, provides you with a comprehensive list of full or partial suspension by a government order(s) based on the state(s) that you indicated in Survey 2, Part 1, that your business operates out of.  The list of full or partial suspension by a government order(s) is clickable; therefore, you can click the link and view each separate shutdown order if you need to determine which period of time the order covers and if it applies to you.

  • NOTE: You can save and continue this form multiple times, but you must hit "Save and continue" bottom of each section.

    Supply chain disruptions


    Many businesses were not directly fully or partially shut down by a government order but were effectively fully or partially shut down when suppliers were shut down by government order. Recognizing this business dynamic and issue of downstream disruptions “due to” government orders in this scenario, Q&A #12 of Notice 2021-20 [PDF 477 KB], detailed a path for an employer to claim a full or partial suspension due to a governmental order when such an order impacts a supplier as follows:

    • The supplier was unable to deliver the critical goods or materials due to full or partial suspension of its business due to a governmental order;
    • The employer was unable to obtain critical goods or materials from a supplier or an alternate supplier; and
    • The employer suffered a full or partial suspension of its business due to the government order related supply side disruption.

     

    IRS Generic Legal Advice memorandum GLAM 2023-005 clarifications regarding ERC supply chain disruptions

    The scenarios in GLAM 2023-005 shared some commonalities among the varying situations presented, including failures to:

    • Identify an actual government order suspending the supplier’s operations
    • Demonstrate that the lack of supplies from a supplier caused a more than nominal impact on its own operations
    • Establish that the entity was not able to obtain critical goods or materials from an alternate supplier

    The GLAM explores substantiation and clarifies several points, including, but not limited to:

    • General statements from a supplier that COVID-19 impacted their business and general news/social media postings noting the same are not enough. The supplier and/or employer need to identify a government order from an appropriate government authority.
    • There is no supply chain disruption if there is an alternate supplier even when that alternate supplier charges substantially more for the supplies.
    • Reliance upon shipping port bottlenecks without a specific government order as well as an employer’s full or partial suspension due to such an order does not qualify.
    • Residual supply chain delays once a government order has been lifted do not qualify for ERC purposes.
    • Residual supply disruptions due to government orders do not support a full or partial suspension of operations during a subsequent quarter for which the governmental orders have been lifted.
    • Limited shortages of product for a retail business that sells a wide variety of products, are not sufficient to support a claim for full or partial suspension of operations if the employer was still able to source a wide variety of products for customers (even if the supplies were more expensive) and was not forced to partially suspend operations.
  • Because you selected “No” to governmental orders affecting your business, your
    credit will be calculated based on revenue loss only.

  • Travel Restrictions

  • Operational Impact

  • Customer Impact

  • Supplier Chain Impact

  • Since your business does not full qualify under "Revenue Reduction" we will need to include a narrative with your application of the impact of your business as a result of COVID.  Please provide detailed responses to each of the questions below.  They, as well as the answers above, will be edited and included as part of the narrative included with your application.  Remember, we want to convice the IRS Agent reviewing your case, while your revenue did not decrease by the required percentages in any or all of the eligible quarters, your business was still "nominally impacted" or "effected" by COVID.
