Pursuant to the CARES Act, eligible employers are able to claim an ERC, which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. If the employer’s employment tax deposits are not sufficient to cover the credit, the employer may get an advance payment from the IRS. The period assessed for eligibility of the ERC is on a calendar year basis. For the first and second quarter of calendar year 2021, we were eligible to claim the ERC. As of April 30, 2021, the remaining portion of the ERC that we have not yet received is included as other receivables in other current assets.
