What is learn more ? The SETC, short for “Self-Employed Tax Credit”, is a specific tax credit created to give financial relief to self-employed people who were negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This credit was brought in as part of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) to support sole proprietors, independent contractors, gig workers, and other self-employed professionals dealing with 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 entitled self-employed people can obtain the credit as a refund, even if they have no tax liability. The credit essentially reduces their tax burden on a dollar-for-dollar basis, likely leading to a significant increase in their tax refund. The SETC tax credit aims to provide self-employed individuals 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.
