SETC Pros, based in Washington D.C., is a leading team of tax and legal experts providing transformative financial relief through the Self-Employed Tax Credit (SETC) Refund Program. Established under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), the SETC offers much-needed financial support to self-employed individuals who faced hardships during the 2020 and 2021 pandemic years.
A Monetary Reward for Self-Employed Workers
“The SETC is a significant tax credit refund designed to compensate self-employed workers who struggled during the pandemic,” says Ryan Umina, CEO of SETC Pros and member of The National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40. “However, an estimated 85% of eligible individuals haven’t claimed it yet. Unfortunately, the government doesn’t actively promote this benefit, leaving many unaware of this valuable resource.”
What is the SETC Tax Credit Refund?
The SETC is a refundable tax credit that compensates qualified self-employed individuals for income lost due to COVID-19. This includes shutdowns, quarantines, caring for sick family members, or even experiencing vaccine side effects.

“I couldn’t believe how easy it was to claim this tax credit!” exclaims Scotty Ross, an Uber driver and TikTok creator from Phoenix, Arizona. “SETC Pros made the whole process painless. As someone clueless about taxes, having a company automatically find and recover my missing tax credits was a lifesaver. I received $2,540 thanks to SETC Pros, and I’m telling everyone I know! My dad even got back $900 with their help.”

Who Qualifies for the SETC Tax Credit?
If you are a freelancer, independent contractor, gig worker, or any other self-employed individual (including sole proprietors and single-member LLCs), you are likely eligible if you missed work due to COVID-19. The SETC tax credit is for self-employed individuals impacted by COVID-19 in 2020 or 2021. Here’s how to know if you qualify:
- Self-Employed: You filed a Schedule C, Schedule SE, or Partnership (1065) tax return for those years. This includes sole proprietors, independent contractors, and single-member LLCs.
- COVID-19 Impact: Your ability to work was affected by COVID-19. This could be due to illness, caring for someone sick, quarantine, or childcare disruptions.
- Examples of Qualifying Situations:
- Quarantine: You were under a government-ordered quarantine or isolation specifically related to COVID-19.
- Illness: You couldn’t work because of:
- Caring for someone in quarantine or isolation.
- Caring for a child affected by school closures.
- Experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or seeking a diagnosis.
- Side effects from a COVID-19 vaccination.
- Vaccination: You missed work due to a vaccination appointment or side effects.
- Childcare: You couldn’t work due to needing to care for a child:
- Whose school or daycare closed due to COVID-19.
- Because your childcare provider was unavailable due to COVID-19.
Who is Not Eligible?
