Calculating Your SETC Tax Credit Refund Amount

After determining your eligibility for the SETC Tax Credit, the subsequent step involves calculating your potential credit amount.

You can find out how in the following details. The SETC Tax Credit amount is influenced by your average daily self-employment income and the number of workdays missed due to COVID-19 impacts.

For instance, the qualified sick leave equivalent amount is equal to the lower of $511 USD or 100% of your average daily income from self-employment for a certain number of days when you were unable to work because of reasons like quarantine or experiencing COVID-19 signs.

On the other hand, the family leave credit amount is the lesser of $200 USD or 67% of your average daily self-employment income.

This is applicable for days when you were unable to work because of COVID-19 related reasons.

Moreover, if both you and your spouse are self-employed, you can both claim a maximum SETC Tax Credit limit, provided you do not share the qualifying days related to COVID.

To calculate your SETC Tax Credit, you would use IRS Form 7202, which takes into account eligibility based on self-employment status and COVID-related interruptions, as well as the family leave Weekends count as claimable days for the setc tax credit if you would have normally performed self-employment work on those days credit.
