COVID-19 Tax Concerns

Marvin Kirsner of Greenberg Traurig is a National Law Review Go-To Thought Leader for his articles on income and payroll taxes and how they intertwine with COVID-19 emergency legislation including the use and repayment of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan funds as dictated by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act; PPP loan administration news for both borrowers and lenders and updates to programs such as the PPP Flexibility Act. With the quick passage of the initial pandemic relief legislation, Mr. Kirsner's analysis of pandemic related IRS guidance and his discussion of various tax credits, including under the Families First Coronavirus Recovery Act (FFCRA) provides much-needed clarity for business owners and advisers.
