Coronavirus COVID-19 Tax Update

This is your federal and state resource to learn more about revised tax deadlines and key tax information related to the coronavirus COVID-19 response.

Key Tax Updates

    The U.S. government passed further Coronavirus relief legislation in December 2020 that extended many of the tax benefits from the CARES Act, such as payroll tax deferral and credits. It also provided a further round of Payroll Protection Program funding (PPP2), and made explicit the ability of businesses to deduct expenses used for PPP forgiveness.
    Taxpayers filing 2020 federal returns should file by the standard filing dates. No changes have been made to those filing dates at this time.
    Taxpayers filing 2019 federal returns subject to tax payments of any amount originally due April 15, 2020 had until July 15, 2020 to file and pay without interest or penalty. Many if not all states followed suit. Please see your specific states below for more details.
    Under the CARES Act, the IRS is allowing employers with fewer than 500 employees to offset the costs of offering emergency sick, family and childcare leave to its employees.
    Under the CARES Act, the IRS is providing a refundable credit against self-employment tax available as of April 2nd

Federal

PPP Expenses Are Deductible Under Regular Business Deduction Rules

With the ECRA, the U.S. government clarified that expenses made with forgiven PPP funds will be fully deductible under regular business deduction rules. 

7(a) Loan Payments Are Not Considered Taxable Income

With the ECRA, the U.S. government also clarified that interest and principal payments made by the government on borrowers' SBA 7(a) loans will not be included in gross taxable income. 

Federal Filing Deadlines for 2019 and 2020 Tax Years

For the 2019 tax year, the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provided special payment and filing relief to individuals and businesses in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. For the 2019 taxable year, income tax payment and filing deadlines were automatically extended until July 15, 2020. This relief applied only to federal income tax payments (including payments of tax on self-employment income), due on April 15. No such changes to the tax filing deadlines for the 2020 tax year have been made. 

Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC)

The employee retention tax credit (“ERTC”), which is found in Section 2301 of the CARES Act. The ERTC has recently been updated by the CAA passed in December 2020. Under the CARES Act for 2020, the ERTC provided a refundable payroll tax credit for 50 percent of qualified wages up to a maximum of $5K per employee paid by employers to employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the CAA for 2021, this tax credit is increased to 70 percent of qualified wages up to a maximum of $7K per employee. The credit is available to employers whose (1) operations were fully or partially suspended, due to a COVID-19-related shut-down order, or (2) gross receipts declined by more than 50 percent when compared to the same quarter in 2019 for 2020 tax credits or by more than 20 percent for 2021 tax credits, all measured on a quarter-by-quarter basis.
For employers with greater than 100 full-time employees, qualified wages are wages paid to employees when they are not providing services due to the coronavirus-related circumstances described above. For eligible employers with 100 or fewer full-time employees, all employee wages qualify for the credit, whether the employer is open for business or subject to a shut-down order.
The first hurdle a business has to overcome to obtain the tax credits is fitting the definition of a “qualified business.” A business meets the definition when (1) operations were fully or partially suspended, due to a COVID-19-related shut-down [government mandated] order, or (2) gross receipts declined by more than 50 percent when compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The Act does not give precise definitions as to what constitutes either “partial” or “full” suspensions of operations, but arguments abound in many scenarios which would give employers a good faith basis to argue their operations were at least “partially” suspended due to the outbreak. Of course, if employers’ gross receipts declined by more than 50 percent compared to the same quarter last year, then they automatically qualify as a “qualified business” and the partial suspension argument is moot. 
If the employer is a qualified business, then the second hurdle is determining if wages are “qualifying wages.” If the qualified business (with over 100 employees) is paying wages to employees that are unable to perform services due to full or partial suspension of operations or due to a loss of more than 50% of gross receipts, then those wages are deemed “qualified wages” and the credit applies. There is ambiguity regarding “performing services” and the act does not elaborate on this definition. Please note that even if the wages are qualified wages, there is a limitation clause that qualified wages may not “exceed the amount such employee would have been paid for working an equivalent duration during the 30 days immediately preceding such period.” Notably, the credit is provided for the first $10,000 of compensation, including health benefits, paid to an eligible employee. Wages paid under the FFCRA are not included as “qualified wages.” The credit is provided for wages paid or incurred from March 13, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
The ERTC allows a credit in each calendar quarter against the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (“Medicare”) tax – or the Tier 1 tax imposed on employers subject to the Railroad Retirement Tax Act under 3221(a) of the IRC (“Tier 1 Tax”) – in the amount of 50 percent of wages ($5K max) paid by employers to employees during the COVID-19 crisis for 2020, and 70 percent ($7K max) for 2021. The amount of the credit is not to exceed the applicable employment taxes (i.e., the Medicare Tax or the Tier 1 Tax), as reduced by any credits allowed under IRC Section 3111(e)(credit for employment of qualified veterans) and IRC Section 3111(f)(credit for research expenditures of qualified small businesses) and Sections 7001 and 7003 of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (which provide for a tax credit against amounts equal to 100 percent of the qualified sick leave wages and qualified family leave wages paid by an employer with respect to such calendar quarter) on the wages paid with respect to the employment of all the employees of the eligible employer for such calendar quarter.
Therefore, the “applicable employment taxes” (i.e., Medicare or Tier 1 taxes) are first reduced by the presently available credits (i.e., IRC Sections 3111(e) and (f), and those available under the FFCRA), and then further reduced by the ERTC credit.
If the amount of the ERTC exceeds the applicable employment taxes for any calendar quarter, such excess shall be treated as an overpayment that shall be refunded under sections 6402(a) (refunding of overpayments) and 6413(b) (same) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Paid Sick and Family Leave (FFCRA)

Small and midsize employers can still take advantage of two new refundable payroll tax credits, designed to immediately and fully reimburse them, dollar-for-dollar, for the cost of providing coronavirus-related leave to their employees. The CARES Act and ECRA gave all American businesses with fewer than 500 employees funds to provide employees with paid leave. Legislation will enable employers to keep their workers on their payrolls, while at the same time ensuring that workers are not forced to choose between their pay checks and the public health measures needed to combat the virus.    • Paid Sick Leave for Workers For COVID-19 related reasons, employees receive up to 80 hours of paid sick leave and expanded paid child care leave when employees’ children’s schools are closed or child care providers are unavailable.• Complete Coverage - Employers receive 100% reimbursement for paid leave pursuant to the Act.       o Health insurance costs are also included in the credit.       o Employers face no payroll tax liability.       o Self-employed individuals receive an equivalent credit.• Fast Funds - Reimbursement will be quick and easy to obtain.       o An immediate dollar-for-dollar tax offset against payroll taxes will be provided       o Where a refund is owed, the IRS will send the refund as quickly as possible.• Small Business Protection - Employers with fewer than 50 employees are eligible for an exemption from the requirements to provide leave to care for a child whose school is closed, or child care is unavailable in cases where the viability of the business is threatened.• Easing Compliance - Requirements subject to 30-day nonenforcement period for good faith compliance efforts.
Businesses can retain and access funds that they would otherwise pay to the IRS in payroll taxes. If those amounts are not sufficient to cover the cost of paid leave, employers can seek an expedited advance from the IRS by submitting a streamlined claim form. 

Payroll Tax Deferral

The CARES Act allows an employer to defer certain payroll taxes, specifically the employer contribution of Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) taxes—with respect to their employees. Typically, the employer is obligated to remit its share (6.2%) of Social Security taxes for each employee’s covered wages to the Treasury electronically on a semi-weekly or monthly basis.
The employer payroll tax deferral, which is found in Section 2302 of the CARES Act, allows employers to defer certain payroll taxes incurred between March 27, 2020 (date of enactment) and December 31, 2020. Under Section 2302, employers can defer their 6.2% share of the Social Security tax on each employee’s covered wages for the rest of the year and pay half at the end of 2021 and half at the end of 2022.
It is important to note that Section 2302 does not cover other payroll taxes such as the Medicare tax (1.45%) or employee’s share of the Social Security tax. In addition, there is no dollar cap on the total amount of employer social security taxes that may be deferred through December 31, 2020.
In similar fashion, the provision outlines tax deferrals in an equivalent amount for self-employed individuals subject to the Self Employment Contributions Act (“SECA”) and employers and employee representatives subject to the Railroad Retirement Tax Act (“RRTA”). Specifically, Section 2302 allows self-employed individuals to defer 6.2% of their SECA tax on net earnings from self-employment (50% of the 12.4% portion attributable to Social Security) and enables employers and employee representatives to defer their 6.2% share of the Tier 1 tax (treated as a Social Security benefit for federal income tax purposes).
While the payroll tax deferral may be attractive to most employers (and parties subject to SECA and RRTA tax liability), it is important to note that the tax relief addressed in Section 2302 constitutes a deferral, rather than a waiver of tax obligations. Notwithstanding section 6302 of the Internal Revenue Code, an employer’s payments shall be treated as timely only if fifty percent of the deferred taxes are paid by December 31, 2021 and the remaining fifty percent are paid by December 31, 2022.
Please note that the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (PPPFA) passed on June 5th now allows businesses who get PPP loan forgiveness to also use this Payroll Tax Deferral.

Qualified Improvement Property Fixes

The CARES Act makes technical corrections to the 2017 Act to treat qualified improvement property as 15-year property for depreciation purposes, and makes it eligible for bonus depreciation. These corrections are retroactive to the effective date of the 2017 Act (January 1, 2018).

Refundable AMT credit modification

The corporate alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) was repealed by the 2017 Act. However, corporate AMT credits were made available as refundable credits over several years, ending in 2021. The CARES Act accelerates the ability of companies to recover those refundable AMT credits.

In addition to the following, we are closely following the regulations on a state by state level defining essential business and other related matters. Please contact us if we may be of assistance.  

Net Operating Loss (NOL) Carrybacks

The CARES Act relaxes the taxable income limitation and carryback limitation on a taxpayer’s use of Net Operating Losses (NOLs). Under the CARES Act, the taxable income limitation is temporarily suspended with retroactive effect, allowing NOLs (whether arising in or carried forward to taxable years beginning in 2018, 2019, or 2020) to fully offset the taxpayer’s taxable income for taxable years beginning before Jan. 1, 2021. Additionally, the CARES Act provides that NOLs arising in a taxable year beginning after Dec. 31, 2017, and before Jan. 1, 2021, generally may be carried back five years. Special rules would apply to real estate investment trusts and life insurance companies. Under the CARES Act, a U.S. shareholder of certain specified foreign corporations may not carry back net operating losses to offset any additional amount includible in its gross income by reason of tax code Section 965(a), a transition tax provision added by the TCJA. The taxpayer may elect, however, to exclude the taxable year in which such amounts are includible in its gross income from the five-year carryback period.

Increased Interest Expense Deduction under IRC s. 163(j)

Section 163(j) limits a taxpayer’s deduction for net business interest expense to 30% of the taxpayer’s “adjusted taxable income” or “ATI” for the taxable year (which is approximately equal to EBITDA for taxable years beginning before Jan. 1, 2022). The CARES Act makes two temporary changes to Section 163(j) that should materially increase the amount of deductions available to taxpayers with indebtedness and significantly increase their available after-tax cash:
● Because taxpayers may have significantly reduced ATI in 2020, the CARES Act allows taxpayers (at their election) to use their adjusted taxable income for their last taxable year beginning in 2019 for purposes of computing the Section 163(j) interest expense limitation for their first taxable year beginning in 2020, which may dramatically increase the amount of interest expense deductions available to the taxpayer. ● The CARES Act generally increases the Section 163(j) interest deduction limitation from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income for taxable years beginning in 2019 and 2020.

The relief provided in this Announcement does not include estimated income tax payments for the 2020 taxable year. For purposes of automatic extensions for Affected Taxpayers, the postponed payment deadline of July 20, 2020 will be used.

The Economic Impact Payments and loan proceeds from the PPP and EIDL programs are not subject to Hawaii income tax. Payments under the PUA and FPUC programs are subject to Hawaii income tax. Under current law, forgiven PPP loans are subject to Hawaii income tax. However, the Department of Taxation intends to recommend to the Hawaii State Legislature that Hawaii conform to the federal treatment of PPP loan forgiveness. Under existing law, unemployment compensation paid to employees and the receipt of loan funds, such as funds from PPP loans and EIDLs, are not subject to general excise tax (GET). GET will not be imposed on payments received under PUA, loan amounts forgiven under PPP, and EIDL Grants. These amounts will be treated as exclusions from gross receipts and should not be reported on GET returns.

IL DOR has said only overpayments created by returns or extensions filed by 4/15 will apply to a 2020 Q1 estimate and be considered timely. Otherwise, any overpayments are applied to the quarter received. This is how the system defaults. IDOR will waive penalties and interest for out-of-state employers who fail to withhold Illinois income taxes for Illinois employees where the sole reason for the Illinois withholding obligation is that the employee is working from home due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Iowa

Return filing and payment due 3/19-7/31 – individual, composite, fiduciary, corporation, franchise tax, partnership, S corp, credit union – no late filing or underpayment penalties. Interest starting 8/1/20. Relief does not apply to estimated taxes. Relief includes fiscal year returns. The filing and payment extension applies to any tax return and associated tax payment listed in Order 2020-01 with a due date on or after March 19, 2020, but before July 31, 2020. The filing and payment extension does not apply to estimated tax payments. A calendar-year filer’s 1st quarter and 2nd quarter 2020 estimated payments are due on April 30, 2020, and June 30, 2020, respectively. Estimated taxes were specifically excluded from the relief in Order 2020-01. The estimated tax underpayment penalty relief provided in Order 2020-03 only applies to certain estimated tax installments due for tax years that begin in 2020. For example, 2019 estimated tax payments for calendar year filers were due in four installments (e.g. April 30, June 30, September 30, January 31, 2020) and these penalties are imposed for failure to make adequate estimated payments on time. Those estimated payments are not covered by these Orders. Penalties calculated on the 2019 IA 2210, 2210F, or 2210S (individuals) or 2019 IA 2220 (corporations and financial institutions subject to franchise tax) still must be paid with the Iowa return. The same outcome would apply to fiscal-year filers for tax years that began in 2018 or 2019 with due dates that fall within the period covered by Order 2020-01. Because estimated payments were specifically excluded from Order 2020-01, underpayment penalties due on required payments during the period covered by that order and those returns will still apply. Previously extended tax returns that have an extended due date on or after March 19, 2020, but before July 31, 2020, benefit from the filing extension to July 31, 2020. Note, however, that under Iowa law an automatic extension only extends the time to file a return, not to pay the tax. Therefore, taxpayers with tax due prior to March 19, 2020 may accrue interest on the balance of unpaid tax. The suspension of interest only applies to interest that accrues between March 19, 2020, and July 31, 2020. Order 2020-03 allows taxpayers to use their 2018 income tax liability (or 110% of their 2018 liability for high income taxpayers) to compute safe harbor estimates for 2020 estimated tax installment payments with a due date on or after April 30, 2020, and before July 31, 2020. For most individuals, this additional relief will apply to their 1st and 2nd quarter estimates for tax year 2020 due on or before April 30, 2020, and June 30, 2020. A taxpayer will not be subject to penalties for underpayment of estimated tax with respect to both installments due on April 30, 2020, and June 30, 2020, if the individual pays the following amounts for each installment payment:• 27.5% of their 2018 Iowa tax liability for a taxpayer whose 2018 federal adjusted gross income (as adjusted for any Iowa decoupling including bonus depreciation/section 179 adjustment) is greater than $150,000, or greater than $75,000 for a married filing separate taxpayer; or• 27.5% of their 2018 Iowa tax liability for a taxpayer whose 2018 federal adjusted gross income (as adjusted for any Iowa decoupling including bonus depreciation/section 179 adjustment) is greater than $150,000, or greater than $75,000 for a married filing separate taxpayer; or
• 25% of their 2018 Iowa tax liability for any other taxpayer. As a result, for taxpayers who computed their tax year 2019 safe harbor estimates using their 2018 tax liability, and had no change in their withholding since 2019, their 1st and 2nd quarter safe harbor estimated payments for tax year 2020 will match their tax year 2019 required quarterly estimated payment. However, any taxpayer who takes advantage of the underpayment penalty relief provided in Order 2020-03 must add the remaining amount due for these installments to their next installment due on or after July 31, 2020. For most individuals, this will increase the required 3rd quarter estimate due September 30, 2020. Failure to pay the increased required installment by the taxpayer’s first due date on or after July 31, 2020, will be considered an underpayment of estimated taxes for the installment. The relief granted in Order 2020-03 is available to any taxpayer required to make a tax year 2020 estimated income tax payment on or after April 30, 2020, but before July 31, 2020. If an overpaid an installment, the overpayment will be carried to the next installment due. The underpayment of estimated tax penalty is calculated separately for each quarter. To avoid penalties, the taxpayer must timely pay at least 25% (or 27.5% for a high income taxpayer) of the 2018 income tax liability with the 1st quarter income tax estimate and by the due date of the 2nd quarter installment, the taxpayer must pay at least 50% (or 55% for a high income taxpayer) of the 2018 income tax liability, if the relief granted in Order 2020-03 is utilized. Individuals may be able to reduce or eliminate the amount of one or more of your required installments by using the annualized income installment method calculated on the IA 2210 Schedule AI. Individuals who cannot pay quarterly estimates may apply to the Department for a waiver of underpayment penalty. Deadlines for the IA 1041 Fiduciary Income Tax Return filed by estates and trusts are extended by the Order, but the Order does not extend payment and filing deadlines related to the IA 706 Inheritance Tax Return. The regular deadline for paying Iowa inheritance tax reported on an IA 706 is the last day of the 9th month following the death of the decedent. A taxpayer’s PPP loan that is forgiven and properly excluded from federal gross income under section 1106 of the federal CARES Act in a tax year beginning on or after January 1, 2020, will also qualify for exclusion from income for Iowa tax purposes. The COVID-19 economic impact payments authorized in section 2201 of the federal CARES Act, whether in the form of a rebate or a refundable tax credit, will not be included in Iowa taxable income or added back as part of an individual’s reportable federal income tax refund for Iowa individual income tax purposes. The Department does not believe that the presence of employees who normally work outside of Iowa, but who are now working remotely from within the state solely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic state of emergency represents the same type of business activity on the part of the employer contemplated by the law. Therefore, while Iowa’s state of emergency in response to COVID19, or similar declared state of emergency in the state where the worker normally worked prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, remains in effect, the Department will not consider the presence of one or more employees working remotely from within Iowa solely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, by itself, sufficient business activity within the state to establish Iowa corporate income tax nexus. Nor does the Department consider such presence by non-sales employees due to the pandemic sufficient, by itself, to cause a corporation to lose the protections of Public Law 86-272. Iowa individual income tax and withholding requirements have not been modified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Iowa individual residents are subject to tax on their entire income, wherever earned, so an Iowa resident’s income tax return filing requirements should not be affected by temporary telecommuting in Iowa or another state. Nonresidents of Iowa who normally work in Iowa but are temporarily telecommuting in another state, or who normally work outside of Iowa but are temporarily telecommuting in Iowa, may need to adjust their income apportionment or their Iowa income tax return filing requirement.

Sales tax and/or withholding tax permit holders can apply for the Small Business Relief Tax Deferral. Factors considered during application review: industry type; current standing with the Department; and, economic loss related to COVID-19 – provides 60 days penalties and interest waived. Sales tax, including any consumer’s use tax reported by a taxpayer on a sales tax return, and withholding tax are included. Retailer’s use tax and consumer’s use tax are not eligible. Returns and payments for sales and withholding, due between March 20, 2020 and April 30, 2020 are eligible.
Iowa waives penalty and interest that would have accrued if someone did not pay property tax by April 1, 2020.

For individuals who request a federal extension by July 15, 2020, the Maryland tax return is due by October 15, 2020.

Pursuant to this action, the Comptroller’s office will not send out lien warning notices, issue liens, attach bank accounts, hold up the renewal of any license including Maryland driver’s licenses, or offset vendor payments for Maryland taxes. The agency will temporarily stop processing paper tax returns on April 15. The Office will recognize the temporary nature of a business’ interim workplace model and employee deployment in light of and during the current health emergency and will not use these temporary measures to impose business nexus, to alter the sourcing of business income, or to impose additional withholding requirements on the employer.

The Comptroller’s office will temporarily accept images of signatures (scanned and photographed) and digital signatures on certain documents. The scope is limited to the determination and collection of liabilities. As part of this initiative, the limited documents include extensions of statute of limitations on assessment or collection, waivers of statutory notices of deficiency and consents to assessment, or agreements to specific tax matters or tax liabilities (closing or settlement agreements). In addition, the Comptroller’s office will allow Comptroller employees to send and accept documents via secure email. Any taxpayer can request that a secure email be sent by a Comptroller employee. Alternatively, the Comptroller will accept password protected attachments using certain programs. In order to send a document with the digital signature, the taxpayer or representative must include a statement, either in the form of an attached cover letter or within the body of the email, saying to the effect: “The attached [name of document] includes [name of taxpayer]’s valid signature and the taxpayer intends to transmit the attached document to the Comptroller of Maryland.”1 The choice to transmit documents electronically is solely that of the taxpayer. The office will consider the temporary nature of a business’s interim workplace model and employee deployment in light of the current health emergency in making a nexus determination, whether the business correctly sourced income, and whether the business properly withheld and reported employee state withholding.

Massachusetts

Massachusetts moves the state income tax filing and payment deadline to match the July 15 deadline for filing federal individual and first and second installments of estimated taxes, estate and trust income taxes and partnership composite returns. Corporate excise taxes will have until July 15 with no penalty for late filing or late payment but interest is not waived. The July 15, 2020 due date applies to personal income tax, estate and trust income tax, and income tax due with a partnership composite return with an April 15, 2020 due date. It also applies to an April, 2020 tax installment owed by a personal income taxpayer with respect to deemed repatriated income. Interest applies to corporate excise tax payments made after 4/15. While individual / fiduciary returns are automatically extended if the payment is made 7/15, corporations are NOT automatically extended if the payment is made on 7/15. They need to extend on 4/15, or else penalties could apply from 7/15 through the final filing / payment date. Taxpayers that previously filed their 2019 returns but have not yet made the associated payments have until July 15, 2020 to make such payments. The Commissioner has determined that the first and second installments of estimated tax, due April 15, 2020 and June 15, 2020, respectively, will now be due July 15, 2020. The Commissioner will waive late-file and late-pay penalties for corporate excise (including financial institution and insurance premiums excise) returns and payments due on April 15, 2020, when those returns and payments are filed and made by July 15, 2020. By law, interest will still accrue on any amounts not paid by April 15, 2020. The waiver of penalties applies to corporate excise returns and payments with an original due date of April 15, 2020, including those of certain S corporations and non-profits that file on a fiscal-year basis and have tax returns and payments due April 15, 2020. Corporate excise taxpayers with an April 15, 2020 return due date that seek an automatic six- or seven-month extension, as applicable, must still pay the amount required for such extension by April 15, 2020. The Corp. Q1 estimated payment is due 3/15, and the return is due 4/15. Any overpayment on the MA CIT return is applied to Q2, not Q1.
One or more employees working from home solely due to the COVID-19 pandemic will not subject a business to a sales and use tax collection obligation or to the corporate excise by reason of that fact. In addition, the presence of an employee working from home in Massachusetts under these circumstances will not impact the numerator of a business corporation’s corporate apportionment payroll factor for the duration of the Massachusetts COVID-19 state of emergency. The Department will not consider the presence of one or more employees working remotely from Massachusetts solely due to the COVID-19 pandemic to be sufficient in and of itself to establish corporate nexus. In addition, such presence will not, of itself, cause a corporation to lose the protections of Public Law 86-272. For the duration of the Massachusetts COVID-19 state of emergency, all compensation received for personal services performed by a nonresident who, immediately prior to the Massachusetts COVID-19 state of emergency, was an employee engaged in performing such services in Massachusetts, and who, during such emergency, is performing such services from a location outside Massachusetts due solely to the Massachusetts COVID-19 state of emergency, will continue to be treated as Massachusetts source income subject to personal income tax under M.G.L. c. 62 and personal income tax withholding. Other states have adopted or are adopting similar sourcing rules due to similar declared states of emergency. A resident employee suddenly working in Massachusetts due to a state’s COVID-19 state of emergency who continues to incur an income tax liability in that other state because of that state’s sourcing rule will be eligible for a credit for taxes paid to that other state under G.L. c. 62, § 6(a). In addition, the employer of such employee is not obligated to withhold Massachusetts income tax for the employee to the extent that the employer remains required to withhold income tax with respect to the employee in such other state. For the duration of the Massachusetts COVID-19 state of emergency, an individual who previously performed services outside of Massachusetts and was not subject to PFML will not become subject to PFML solely because the individual is temporarily working from home in Massachusetts due to the emergency as declared by such other state. Likewise, an individual who previously performed services in Massachusetts but is temporarily working from home outside of Massachusetts solely due to the Massachusetts COVID-19 state of emergency continues to be subject to the PFML rules. For purposes of this Directive, when a taxpayer seeks to use an electronic signature it must include a statement, either in the cover letter or in the email transmitting the electronically signed document, that says, to the effect, as follows: “The attached [insert document name] includes [insert name of taxpayer or representative]’s valid signature and the taxpayer intends to transmit the document to the Massachusetts Department of Revenue.” The Department will work cooperatively with taxpayers to allow for electronic signatures on various administrative forms, including with respect to the signatures of taxpayers, their representatives, or Department employees. The administrative forms for which the Department will allow electronic signatures will include but not be limited to: Form A-37: Consent Extending the Time for Assessment of Taxes, Form B37: Special Consent Extending the Time for Assessment of Taxes, Form DR-1: Office of Appeals Form and Form M-2848: Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative.[1] For other forms not listed herein, the Department will work with taxpayers to confirm the parties’ declaration of intent to sign electronically. 
Massachusetts tax implications of the federal CARES Act - Individual Income Tax Provisions - (1) 2020 Recovery Rebates to Individuals - Since the advance payment of a credit under the Act is not includable in federal gross income, it is not includable in Massachusetts gross income and thus not subject to the Massachusetts personal income tax. (2) Expansion of Unemployment Benefits - All payments of unemployment compensation, including amounts authorized under the Act, are includable in both federal and Massachusetts gross income and subject to Massachusetts personal income tax. (3) Tax-favored Withdrawals for Retirement Plans -, There is no Massachusetts analog to the Code § 72(t) penalty. Therefore, this change has no practical Massachusetts tax impact. (4) Loans from Qualified Employer Retirement Plans - for Massachusetts purposes a loan from a qualified employer plan will be treated as a distribution to the extent it is so treated for federal purposes. (5) Temporary Waiver of Required Minimum Distribution Rules for Certain Retirement Plans and Accounts - because Massachusetts has no analog to the federal penalties at issue, these changes have no practical Massachusetts tax impact. (6) Allowance of Partial Above-the-Line Deduction for Charitable Contributions - Massachusetts does not adopt the addition of subsection (22) to Code § 62(a) because Massachusetts generally follows Code § 62(a) as in effect on January 1, 2005, with the exception of Code § 62(a)(1). However, for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, Massachusetts law separately allows a deduction for charitable contributions, with no itemization requirement.[14] The forthcoming Massachusetts charitable deduction remains in effect and is unaffected by the Act. (7) Modification of Limitation on Charitable Contributions During 2020 - Massachusetts does not follow the Act’s temporary easing of the limitation in Code § 170 for personal income tax purposes. The forthcoming Massachusetts charitable deduction remains in effect and is unaffected by the Act. (8) Exclusion for Certain Employer Payments of Student Loans - Massachusetts does not conform to the revisions made by the Act. Therefore, qualified education loan payments made by an employer are not excluded from an employee’s Massachusetts gross income. Likewise, Massachusetts does not conform to the disallowance of the deduction for interest paid by an employee on such loans. (9) Modification of Limitation on Losses for Taxpayers Other than Corporations - Massachusetts did not adopt Code § 461(l) as enacted in the TCJA. Therefore the suspension of the limitation has no impact for Massachusetts tax purposes. (10) Use of Health Savings Accounts, Flexible Spending Accounts, and Archer Medical Savings Accounts for Telehealth Services and Over-the-Counter Medical Products - With respect to Code §§ 106 and 223, Massachusetts follows the Code as currently in effect and therefore excludes from gross income reimbursements from an HSA or FSA for medicine or drugs without a prescription and allows a deduction for contributions to, and excludes from gross income reimbursements from, an HSA in relation to certain remote care services for plan years beginning prior to or on December 31, 2021.[23] However, because Massachusetts follows Code § 220 as amended and in effect on January 1, 2005, Massachusetts does not exclude reimbursements for these expenses when paid by an Archer MSA. C. Corporate and Business Tax Provisions - (1) Small Business Loan (PPP) Forgiveness - For a borrower subject to Massachusetts personal income tax, any amount forgiven under § 1106 of the Act is includable in gross income and subject to tax, and there is no disallowance of deductions attributable to the payment of expenses resulting in the forgiveness of the loan. For purposes of the corporate excise, Massachusetts follows the Code as currently in effect. Therefore any amount forgiven for a corporate borrower under § 1106 of the Act would be excluded from Massachusetts gross income, and any deductions disallowed in accordance with IRS Notice 2020- 32 would likewise be disallowed for Massachusetts tax purposes. Costs and expenses paid using PPP loan amounts that are ultimately forgiven are not eligible for any of the credits authorized under either M.G.L. c. 62 or M.G.L. c. 63. (2) Modifications to the Limitations on Net Operating Losses - The suspension of Code § 172 limitations has no impact for Massachusetts tax purposes. (3) Modifications to Limitation on Business Interest Deduction - Massachusetts adopts these changes subject to the rules outlined in TIR 19-17. (4) Technical Amendments Regarding Qualified Improvement Property - Massachusetts adopts the changes made by the Act with respect to the depreciable life of QIP for property placed in service after December 31, 2017. However, because Massachusetts is decoupled from the bonus depreciation rules in Code § 168(k), the Massachusetts depreciation deduction for QIP must be calculated under Code § 168 without regard to § 168(k). (5) Modification of Limitation on Charitable Contributions During 2020 - Massachusetts adopts the temporary easing of the limitation for corporate excise purposes.)

Remittance of income tax withheld by employers required to be made using Form NYS-1, Return of Tax Withheld, must be made on time. For the period from the date (April 7, 2020) of this Executive Order through May 9, 2020, the Department of Taxation and Finance is authorized to accept digital signatures in lieu of handwritten signatures on documents related to the determination or collection of tax liability.

The new deadline applies not only to resident and nonresident Rhode Island personal income tax returns and payments for the 2019 tax year, but also to Rhode Island personal income tax extensions related to the 2019 tax year that would normally be filed by April 15, 2020. The new deadline also applies to Rhode Island property-tax relief claims filed on Form RI1040H and to claims for the residential lead abatement tax credit filed on Form RI-6238 that would normally be due on April 15, 2020. In addition, the new deadline applies to fiduciary income tax returns and payments filed by estates and trusts related to the 2019 tax year that would normally be due on April 15, 2020. The new deadline also applies to first-quarter estimated payments of Rhode Island income tax for the 2020 tax year by individuals, estates, and trusts, that would normally be due April 15, 2020. The relief described in this Advisory does not apply to filings or payments of any other type of Rhode Island tax, or to the filing of any other Rhode Island return. Table was revised on April 6, 2020, to include language about fiscalyear filers; new deadline for composite income tax – estimated (Form RI-1040C-ES); and information about pass-through withholding. New due date does not apply to filings or payments of any other type of Rhode Island tax, or to filing of any other Rhode Island return. New deadline of July 15, 2020, applies not only to calendar year individuals and entities with normal due date of April 15, 2020 (April 1, 2020, for surplus lines brokers/licensees), but also to fiscal year filers whose original or extended due date would normally fall on April 15, 2020. (Although fiscal-year filers who are on extension have a new due date of July 15, 2020, they still must, by statute, be fully paid by September 15, 2020.) New due date applies to filings and payments. Listing for single-member LLC assumes entity is owned by individual. Listing for C corporation also applies to filing under mandatory unitary combined reporting. New deadline for passthrough withholding (Form RI1096PT) applies only to trusts and single-member LLCs with a normal due date of April 15. New deadline for pass-through withholding estimates (Form RI-1096PT-ES), normally due April 15, 2020, to all entity types. New deadline for business extension applies only to public service corporation filers and bank excise tax filers. The relief mainly applies to estimated payments of Rhode Island personal income tax and estimated payments of Rhode Island business tax that would normally be due June 15, 2020. The deadline for those filing and payments is postponed to July 15, 2020. No penalties and no interest will apply, regardless of the amount owed, if payment is made on or before July 15, 2020. Under the emergency regulation, the income of employees who are nonresidents temporarily working outside of Rhode Island solely due to the pandemic will continue to be treated as Rhode Island-source income for Rhode Island withholding tax purposes. Under the emergency regulation, Rhode Island will not require employers located outside of Rhode Island to withhold Rhode Island income taxes from the wages of employees who are Rhode Island residents temporarily working within Rhode Island solely due to the pandemic. For the duration of Rhode Island's coronavirus state of emergency, the Rhode Island Division of Taxation will not seek to establish nexus for Rhode Island sales and use tax purchases solely because an employee is temporarily working from home during the state of emergency, or because an employee is temporarily working from home during the state of emergency and is using property to allow the employee to work from home (e.g., computers, computer equipment, or similar property) temporarily during the state of emergency. The presence of one or more employees that previously worked in another state but, solely due to the state of emergency, are working remotely from Rhode Island, will not in and of itself trigger nexus for Rhode Island sales and use tax purposes. Property that is temporarily located in Rhode Island during the state of emergency solely to allow one or more employees to work from home temporarily in Rhode Island (e.g., computers, computer equipment, or similar property) during the state of emergency will not in and of itself trigger nexus for Rhode Island sales and use tax purposes. In addition, the performance of any services by such employees within Rhode Island will not, of itself cause their employer to lose the protection of Public Law 86-272. For the duration of Rhode Island's coronavirus state of emergency, services performed by one or more employees, who previously worked in another state but, solely due to the pandemic are now working remotely from Rhode Island, will not be considered by the Rhode Island Division of Taxation to increase the numerator of their employer's payroll factor for purposes of apportioning income.

South Carolina

Extended date for filing and payment of state income taxes – individual, C corporation, trust returns – waive interest and penalties extending tax relief for South Carolina 2019 income tax returns originally due April 15, 2020, until July 15, 2020. This also includes quarterly estimated payments due on April 15, 2020. Interest or penalties related to this tax relief will be waived. Additional extension of time to file income tax returns to October 15, 2020 by filing the appropriate South Carolina extension (i.e., SC Form 4868, 1120-T, or 8736) on or before July 15, 2020. Alternatively, if a taxpayer files a timely federal extension, this will automatically extend the time to file the South Carolina 2019 income tax return to October 15, 2020.
Extended due date for filing return and payment – waiving interest and penalties - sales and use tax, admissions tax, other taxes. The Department announced in SC Information Letter #20-3, dated March 17, 2020, that affected taxpayers will have until June 1, 2020 to file and pay taxes for returns that are due between April 1, 2020 and June 1, 2020. On March 21, 2020, Governor McMaster directed that other state taxes (i.e., those taxes other than the income taxes conforming to the new federal income tax deadline) will remain delayed until June 1, 2020, as previously ordered. The June 1, 2020 relief applies to taxes administered by the Department or tax returns filed with the Department between April 1, 2020 and June 1, 2020, including, but not limited to: • State sales and use taxes • Local sales and use taxes collected by the Department • Property tax returns filed with the Department 2 • Withholding taxes • Motor fuel user fees • State accommodations taxes • Beer, wine, and liquor taxes. The relief does not apply to tax returns filed with a county or municipality, such as the local hospitality tax or local accommodations tax. A taxpayer should contact the county regarding any tax relief being provided for tax payments made to the county or tax returns filed with the county. Interest or penalties related to this tax relief will be waived if payment is made by the end of the relief period. The Department is announcing temporary relief regarding a business’s establishment of nexus solely because an employee is temporarily working in a different work location due to COVID-19 and is providing guidance with respect to employer withholding requirements for these employees. South Carolina Withholding Requirements - Tax Relief Period Effective from March 13, 2020 through September 30, 2020, South Carolina will not use the temporary change of an employee’s work location during the COVID-19 relief period to impose a South Carolina withholding requirement under Code Section 12-8-520, as explained below. This relief does not apply to workers whose status changes from temporary to permanent status during this period. During the COVID-19 relief period, a South Carolina business’s withholding requirements are not affected by the current shift of employees working on the employer’s premises in South Carolina to teleworking from outside of South Carolina. Accordingly, the wages of nonresident employees temporarily working remotely in another state instead of their South Carolina business location are still subject to South Carolina withholding. During the COVID-19 relief period, an outof-state business is not subject to South Carolina’s withholding requirement solely due to the shift of employees working on the employer’s premises outside of South Carolina to teleworking from South Carolina. Accordingly, the wages of a South Carolina resident employee temporarily working remotely from South Carolina instead of their normal out-of-state business location are not subject to South Carolina withholding if the employer is withholding income taxes on behalf of the other state. The Department will not use changes solely in an employee’s temporary work location due to the remote work requirements arising from, or during, the COVID-19 relief period (March 13, 2020 – September 30, 2020) as a basis for establishing nexus1 or altering apportionment of income. For South Carolina income tax purposes, the economic impact payment is not taxable.

The state does not impose a personal income tax.

Non-electronic funds transfer (non-EFT) franchise taxpayers that cannot file by July 15 may file an extension request on or before July 15 and must pay 90 percent of the tax due for the current year, or 100 percent of the tax reported as due for the prior year with the extension request. NonEFT franchise taxpayers who request an extension have until Jan. 15 to file their report and pay the remainder of the tax due. If the extension request does not meet the payment requirements when the report is filed, penalty and interest will apply to any part of the 90 percent of the tax not paid by July 15 and to any part of the 10 percent of the tax not paid by Jan. 15, 2021. On or before July 15, franchise taxpayers that are mandatory EFT payers may request an extension of time to file to Aug. 15 and must pay 90 percent of the tax due for the current year or 100 percent of the tax reported as due for the prior year with the extension request. On or before Aug. 15, EFT franchise taxpayers may request a second extension of time to file their report and must pay the remainder of any tax due with their extension request. The Aug. 15 extension request extends the report due date to Jan 15. Any payments made after Aug. 15 will be subject to penalty and interest. The Comptroller’s office will grant an extension of time to file a franchise tax report upon receipt of a timely request. Timely means submitted or postmarked on or before the due date of the original report. Generally, for an extension to be valid, 100 percent of the tax paid in the prior year, or 90 percent of the tax that will be due with the current year’s report, must be paid on or before the original due date of the report.

Virginia

Virginia extend due date for VA income tax payments – penalty waiver if full amount paid by June or late payment penalties accrue from original date due – for individual, corporate, and fiduciary income taxes and any estimated income tax payments required in this period. Filing deadlines remain same. Virginia will waive the accrual of interest for certain Virginia income and sales tax payments that are paid on extension in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis. Certain income tax payments originally due during the period from April 1, 2020 to June 1, 2020 may now be submitted to the Department of Taxation (“the Department”) without the accrual of interest as would otherwise be required for late payments. This waiver of interest only applies if full payment is made on or before June 1, 2020. For a taxpayer filing on extension, at least 90 percent of the total tax liability must be paid by June 1, 2020 in order for the interest waiver to apply. If the interest waiver applies to such a taxpayer, no interest will accrue on the amount of tax paid by June 1, 2020, but interest will accrue from the original due date to the date of payment on any amount left unpaid after June 1, 2020. This waiver of interest applies to any payment required to be made with a Taxable Year 2019 individual, corporate, or fiduciary income tax return, as well as any such payment required to be made with respect to an election to file on extension. In addition, this waiver of interest applies to any individual, corporate, or fiduciary estimated income tax payments that are required to be paid during the period from April 1, 2020 to June 1, 2020. The waiver also applies to payments associated with composite returns. The extended due date for individual and fiduciary income taxpayers who file on a calendar year basis is November 2, 2020. While the interest waiver and the payment extension announced in Tax Bulletin 20-4 do apply to the amount of income tax paid with a composite return, this relief does not apply to nonresident withholding tax. As a result, interest and penalties will generally be imposed if they have not paid by the original due date for filing a Pass-Through Entity Return of Income and Return of Nonresident Withholding Tax. Automatic six-month filing extensions are available for passthrough entities. No application or paperwork is required to qualify, but an extension payment must be made by the original due date to avoid payment-related penalties. Dealers that were granted an extension of the due date for the February 2020 sales tax return and payment due in March pursuant to Tax Bulletin 20-3 will receive a waiver of the interest that would have otherwise accrued for such late payment. This waiver of interest only applies to such payments submitted to the Department no later than April 20, 2020. The interest waiver and the payment extension announced in Tax Bulletin 20-4 do not apply to employer withholding of income tax.
