While the ERC is technically not taxable income in and of itself. ERC will affect your payroll deduction. As a business or employer taking employee retention credits, you must reduce your payroll expenses deduction by the amount of ERC claimed.

[link moderated] Under the IRC section 280c, Taxpayers are supposed to reduce their deductible expenses by the amount of R&D credits for the tax years that the credits have been taken.
