As provided under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) enacted on March 18, 2020, the costs of providing leave to workers unable to work or telework due to circumstances related to the coronavirus can be offset with refundable tax credits against employment tax. The FFCRA also extended equivalent refundable credits to self-employed individuals, and Form 7202 is used by self-employed taxpayers to figure the amount to claim for qualified sick and family leave equivalent credits.

The credits can be claimed if the taxpayer couldn't work or had to take care of family members due to the coronavirus, and they are calculated the same way qualified sick leave wages are calculated under the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act, or qualified family leave wages are calculated under the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act, the two separate provisions of the FFCRA. 

Calculation parameters:

• Ten days maximum sick leave. If the taxpayer missed days due to both their own health needs and also due to taking care of their family, the days missed due to their own health needs are calculated first.
• The missed days that count toward the credit must be between April 1 and December 31, 2020.
• Per day earnings from self-employment = total self-employment earnings / 260 days.
• Maximum $511 paid sick leave credit per day, and $5,110 in the aggregate.
• Family leave credit = 2/3 of the paid sick leave credit.
• Maximum $200 family leave credit per day and $2,000 in the aggregate.
• Maximum 50 days family leave credit allowed, up to $200 per day and $10,000 in the aggregate.
• Each credit is reduced by any qualified sick leave wages or qualified family leave wages received from an employer (indicated either on Form W-2, Box 14 or in a separate statement).

The form consists of two parts, and the sum of the credits calculated in each part is reported on Schedule 3 (Form 1040) line 12b.
