COVID-19 CARES Act and Tax Update
General Information
April 5, 2020
On Friday March 27, 2020, President Donald Trump signed the largest economic relief package in U.S. history. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, responds to the coronavirus pandemic, by providing about $2 trillion to individuals, businesses and state and local governments. These provisions range from individual rebates, to small business loans and wide variety of other tax breaks designed to lessen the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the economy. In addition, there are several other administrative and legislative actions which are directed towards COVID-19 relief such as the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, IRS Notices and California orders.
We have summarized some of the more pertinent provisions that we expect to impact our clients below.
