Understanding SETC Limitations and Restrictions

Understanding the limitations and restrictions of the SETC Tax Credit is vital, even with its substantial advantages.

For instance, claiming the SETC Tax Credit can increase your adjusted gross income, possibly influencing your eligibility for other deductions and tax credits.

However, the SETC Tax Credit does not count as taxable income, which means no additional tax liability will result from the credit itself.

That said, there are some restrictions to consider.

The full SETC amount cannot be claimed if you were paid wages for sick or family leave by an employer, or unemployment benefits throughout 2020 or 2021.

Moreover, if you missed filing your initial tax return and now wish to claim or amend SETC credits, you can do so by filing an amended return within the prescribed deadlines Experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and seeking a medical diagnosis could qualify you for the setc tax credit if you're self-employed for the 2020 and 2021 tax returns.
