This course will review the latest developments and clarifications of the relief packages so that practitioners can better serve clients suffering from economic losses as a result of the pandemic. The program will benefit tax advisers wading through the massive relief offered to taxpayers to mitigate losses sustained as a result of COVID-19.

Description

In the first week of April 2020, taxpayers rushed to banks to take advantage of Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loans available to qualified employers with less than 500 employees. With maximum interest rates of one percent, a loan forgiveness feature, and initial repayments deferred for six months, businesses are scrambling to banks to take advantage of these loans.

Also included as part of the relief is an employer retention credit (ERC). A 50% credit for wages paid up to $10,000 is allowed for qualifying employers, including self-employed taxpayers. However, there are specific economic loss requirements to qualify, and employers taking advantage of a PPP loan are not eligible for the ERC. Understanding which is better for which taxpayers is critical for tax advisers.

In addition to loans and tax credits, net operating loss rules that were curtailed by the 2017 tax act have returned. The recent tax act imposed an 80% limitation and removed the carryback. Now businesses have a five-year carryback, no cap, and an indefinite carryforward.

Listen as our panel of tax experts explains what we know and what we don't know about the four phases of coronavirus relief and how advisers can best take advantage of the offerings for themselves and their clients.
