COVID-19 Part I: Federal and State Tax Law Responses to the Pandemic (Currently Unavailable)

Author: Mark S. Klein, William S. Turkovich, James M. Bandoblu, Jr., Hodgson Russ LLP

CPE Credit:  2 hours for CPAs

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, federal legislation was enacted to address financial stability and liquidity issues, in part, through various, and mostly temporary, federal tax law changes. Several of the temporary changes suspend or alter some of the provisions from the TCJA. Knowing how these federal tax law changes impact your clients and your business is crucial.

In this course, we will cover federal tax legislation, including the CARES Act, related IRS guidance, and other IRS procedural considerations during the pandemic. We will also address specific state responses, including those that confirm federal changes that “flow through” to state taxes, or specific state measures to address the crisis.
