    Did you mean: 

    Are the 50/50 owners of an S-Corp eligible for the Employee Retention Credit?

    I'm not sure this is the right forum, but I am reaching for an answer!  I have clients that are 50/50 owners of an S-Corp with wages and have been severely affected by COVID.  One of the owners has his daughter working for the company.  Since they are not "greater than 50%" I would think they are eligible for the credit.  But I have read different opinions.  It seems the family attribute parameter is creating a lot of confusion.  Can I include them in the credit??
    Thanks so much for your help - I have been spinning my wheels on this for a while!

    I found you a great topic which includes the update to the early termination of this provision, a table that explains attribution, and even a calculator spreadsheet that allows you to keep a copy locally:
