As a follow up to our overview of The CARES Act sent last week, the third Federal stimulus bill in response to COVID-19, I wanted to provide you with a quick update on additional guidance recently issued on the two key SBA loan programs available to business owners: the Payroll Protection Program (this is the program that will issue forgivable loans and every business owner should know about) and Economic Injury Disaster Loans.
The Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”)
If we can help with the average monthly payroll calculations, or working through the requirements of maintaining your pre-COVID-19 payroll and/or reinstating terminated employees to meet this test, please let us know.
Economic Injury Disaster Loans (“EIDL”)
As additional guidance is issued we will continue to keep you updated.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced yesterday that individuals can defer April 15th tax payments up to $1 million, and Corporations can defer up to $10 million of tax payments, for 90 days. Please note that many details remain unclear with respect to this relief, and no official written policy has been released yet, but we expect additional guidance from the IRS in the coming days and will provide details once available. For now, here is an overview of what to expect:
“We encourage those Americans who can file their taxes to continue to file their taxes by April 15,” Mnuchin said, especially encouraging people who will be getting tax refunds to do so. “Just file your taxes,” he said, and “you will automatically not get charged interest and penalties” on payments made within the 90-day deferral period.
We are following the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) closely, which will address relief in the form of tax credits and/or cash payments to businesses and employees affected by COVID-19 and will send an update once there is an agreement. For our business owners, we are also closely monitoring federal and state incentives (including low interest loans, grants, unemployment for employees, etc.) and will send details and guidelines once available.
Just as the government shutdown ended, the IRS kicked-off its’ 2019 tax filing season this week on Monday, January 28th. With the window now open to file returns, we would like to draw your attention to the new postcard-sized 1040…and why it may not be as simple as it seems.
With only six weeks left in the year, we outline two planning strategies that may be relevant for you in 2018 following the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) – both are related to Charitable Donations and could yield significant tax savings.
