Howard Hanna Real Estate Services is pleased to announce its partnership with GigBack, a platform designed to assist our sales associates with accessing pandemic-related tax credits before the program expires in April 2025. This initiative, aimed at supporting independent contractors, like our real estate professionals, provides possible financial assistance through the Self-Employed Tax Credit (SETC), which provides possible tax credits/refunds for time you may have taken off for sick leave to recover from COVID-19 or to care for someone with COVID-19.
How Does the Tax Credit Work?
Eligible agents can claim up to $32,200 in refundable tax credits for qualified sick and family leave taken in 2020 and 2021. The credit functions as a direct payment—there’s no repayment required, and the funds are sent directly to the individual’s bank account, providing immediate relief. This is a significant advantage compared to loans or deductions, as it offers financial aid with no strings attached.
With the deadline for filing approaching on April 15, 2025, now is the time for agents to take advantage of this opportunity.
How to Take Advantage of the Tax Credit with GigBack
To make accessing this financial support easier, Howard Hanna’s exclusive partnership with GigBack ensures that agents can navigate the SETC application process with confidence. GigBack’s team of experienced CPAs will guide applicants through every step, ensuring they receive the maximum benefit they’re entitled to.
As a special offer, GigBack has reduced its processing fee from $150 to $99 for Howard Hanna agents, with a full refund provided if the individual does not qualify. Should you qualify, GigBack’s CPAs will prepare your amended tax returns, verify all information for accuracy, and submit it to the IRS—allowing you to focus on your business while awaiting your refund.
This partnership underscores Howard Hanna’s commitment to supporting our agents during uncertain times. No other brokerage in the U.S. is partnering with GigBack, allowing only Howard Hanna agents to receive direct financial relief.
