Will I Receive A Stimulus Check During The Second Round?

By

On December 31, 2020

In Federal

You likely have heard that a second round of Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) has been approved.

The IRS started to distribute the second EIPs on December 29. Direct deposit payments should be deposited within the next two weeks. Distribution of paper checks began on Wednesday, December 30, and should continue through the end of January. If you received an initial EIP, no additional action is required to receive this second payment.

The income criteria for the second round of payments is the same as the first. If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident making under $75,000 a year (single) or $150,000 a year (married filing jointly) and are not claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax returns, you likely will qualify for the full $600 payment ($1,200 married couples).… Read More

Earlier this year, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provided relief and temporarily adjusted their processes to help people and businesses through the People First Initiative, which was in effect for the first months of COVID.

IRS issues guidance on deductibility of forgivable PPP expenses

By

On November 20, 2020

In Federal, Financial Resources

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), a provision in the CARES Act, provides forgivable loans for businesses impacted by the devastating financial impact of the COVID19 epidemic.  Under Section 1106(b) of the CARES Act, these covered loans are eligible for full forgiveness if certain criteria are met.

The language in the CARES Act guided the general understanding of borrowers and advisors that the PPP loans and associated forgiveness would be tax-exempt.  The IRS later clarified that no deduction would be allowed for any expenses that resulted in forgiveness of the loan reducing the benefit of the loans based on marginal tax rate and potentially resulting tax liabilities that devastated businesses will not have the liquidity to pay. … Read More
