GAO Report Reveals Need to Simplify Next Round of Rebates
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) recently released a report revealing that almost a half-million taxpayers missed their total rebate payment due to complications over disbursing funds to non-filers with eligible dependents. Taxpayers who do not regularly file tax returns-usually those who do not owe tax because they earn lower incomes or who receive federal disbursements through agencies like the Social Security Administration-were required to provide additional information, such as their current address, to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to receive their benefits. Unless non-filers provide this information online, non-filers must wait until they file their 2020 tax return to receive their rebate.

SBA Loans or Salary Credits a few key differences between these two tools provided by CARES Act
Besides the Paycheck Protection Plan (PPP) loans authorized by Congress for the Small Business Administration (SBA) under the CARES Act, there are other alternatives that should be looked upon by business owners. Undoubtedly forgiveness of the loan seems attractive to any person. This product offers this alternative but fine print needs to be read carefully because loan forgiveness is predicated on a rather complex set of rules. To operating (or those partially doing so) businesses the credit for salaries paid starts for the payments made during the 24 weeks after disbursement so anything paid before will not count towards the possible forgiveness. The other alternative CARES offer is a credit for salaries paid up to 5,000 dollars. The employer will apply this credit in the Puerto Rico context to the Social Security payment due. The remaining balance, and most likely there will be a hefty one, will be refunded Puerto Rico Business Insider june 2020 Number 9 SBA Loans or Salary Credits a few key differences between these two tools provided by CARES Act directly by the Federal Government to the employer.
