Social media advice continues to circulate about a non-existent “Self-Employment Tax Credit” that’s misleading taxpayers into filing false claims. Promoters market it as a way for self-employed people and gig workers to get payments of up to $32,000 for the COVID-19 pandemic period.
In reality, the underlying credit being referred to in social media is not called the “Self-Employment Tax Credit,” it’s a much more limited and technical credit called the Credits for Sick Leave and Family Leave. Many people simply do not qualify for these credits, and the IRS is closely reviewing claims coming in under this provision.
