Question

Is it too late to get the Employee Retention Credit for Q3 and Q4 of 2020? If not, how can I apply for it?

My accountant was supposed to be looking into this for me for about 6 months now but has been "swamped" and still hasn't even completed my 2020 taxes but rather filed for an extension to buy more time. He finally just told me the other day that the ERC stuff isn't something he'd be able to do for me as he likes to avoid anything payroll related (I'll be getting a new accountant next year). While I was waiting so long for his help, it looks like I missed the deadlines for Q3 and Q4 of 2020? From what I've read online I should qualify for it, do I still have any options? One possibility I saw was maybe I can have QuickBooks file a 941X for me? I did see the QB instructions for how to set up the ERC for 2021 so I'm all set on that, specifically looking for assistance on 2020.
