How Does It Work?
Claiming SETC Tax Credits: How It Works
Were you self-employed, a gig worker, a sole proprietor, a 1099 contractor, or a freelancer during the tumultuous 2020 and 2021 pandemic years? If so, you may qualify for a substantial tax credit. The Self-Employed Tax Credit (SETC) is a non-taxable tax credit designed to assist independent workers impacted by COVID-19. This credit encompasses the Sick Leave and Family Leave Tax Credits established by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). It isn’t a grant or a loan – it’s money owed to you in the form of a refund thanks to this historic legislation.

What is The Self-Employed Tax Credit?
The Self-Employed Tax Credit is an industry term that includes the Sick Leave and Family Leave Tax Credits for self-employed Americans. These credits were created to support independent workers who faced financial setbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Established by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and expanded by the CARES Act, these credits provide direct relief for self-employed individuals who were unable to work due to illness, caregiving responsibilities, or government-mandated shutdowns.
The Sick Leave Tax Credit offers compensation for those who missed work due to their own illness or quarantine, while the Family Leave Tax Credit covers those who had to care for family members affected by COVID-19, including school closures or sick dependents.
Eligible individuals include sole proprietors, independent contractors, freelancers, and gig workers who experienced income loss in 2020 and 2021. Shockingly, an estimated 30-50 million self-employed Americans who might qualify have yet to claim these credits. These refunds can provide much-needed relief, with potential benefits of up to $32,220.
