Calculating the SETC Tax Credit 90465

Calculating Your SETC Tax Credit Refund Amount

Once you've established that you qualify for the SETC Tax Credit, the subsequent step is to calculate your potential credit amount.

You can find out how in the following details. The SETC Tax Credit amount is determined by your average daily self-employment income and the number of workdays missed because of COVID-19 impacts.

For instance, the sick leave credit amount equates to the lower of $511 USD or all of your average daily income from self-employment for a set number of days when you couldn’t work because of reasons like quarantine or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.

On the other hand, the family leave credit amount is the lower of $200 USD or two-thirds of your average daily self-employment income.

This applies for the days in which you couldn’t perform services due to COVID-19 related circumstances.

Moreover, If you had to quarantine due to COVID-19 exposure or orders, you may be eligible for financial assistance through the setc tax credit program if you and your spouse are both self-employed, you can both claim a maximum SETC Tax Credit limit, as long as you don't share the qualifying COVID days.

To determine your SETC Tax Credit, you would use IRS Form 7202, which takes into account eligibility according to self-employment status and COVID-related disruptions, as well as the family leave tax credit.
