The Sick and Family Leave Tax Credit is a relief measure tailored for self-employed individuals and 1099 workers, instituted under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). This legislation grants eligible individuals, including gig workers and small business owners, the opportunity to claim a refundable tax credit. Aimed at mitigating the impact of COVID-19-related circumstances preventing work or telework, this historic credit provides crucial financial support.

Key features of this tax credit include:

Qualified Sick Leave Credit:

- It covers up to 100% of qualified sick leave equivalent amounts, capped at $511 per day.

- The calculation is based on the lesser of $511 per day or 100% of the individual's average daily self-employment income.

- Eligible circumstances include medically recommended or government-ordered quarantine/isolation due to COVID-19, experiencing symptoms and seeking diagnosis, or caring for someone under quarantine or with symptoms.

Qualified Family Leave Credit:

- The credit extends to qualified family leave, covering up to 67% of the average daily self-employment income, with a maximum benefit of $200 per day.

- Applicable scenarios include the inability to work due to caring for a child whose school or care facility closed due to COVID-19.

- Established as part of broader congressional efforts to offer financial assistance during the pandemic, these credits acknowledge the unique challenges self-employed individuals and independent contractors face.
