So if your employees decide to defer their social security withholding and then leave before it is paid back, who is on the hook for the payments? How long will you have to pay back the deferred taxes?

Governor DeWine, Lt. Governor Husted Submit Formal Request for Federal Assistance for Small Businesses​

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—On Tuesday afternoon, Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted sent a letter and application to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to qualify the State of Ohio for the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program. This federal program will enable small businesses and non-profits throughout the state impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 to apply for low-interest loans up to $2 million in assistance that can provide vital economic support to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing.

“We understand the steps being taken to keep all Ohioans safe will have a significant impact on businesses across the state, which is why we are leaving no stone unturned to identify every possible way we can support them during this time,” said Governor DeWine. “Ohioans are resilient. We will get us through this.”

The Economic Injury Disaster Loans may be used by Ohio small business owners and non-profits to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that can’t be paid because of the disaster’s impact. The interest rate is 3.75% for small businesses without credit available elsewhere; businesses with credit available elsewhere are not eligible. The interest rate for non-profits is 2.75%.

Once the state is qualified for the program, Ohio Development Services Agency (Development) will work with the SBA to notify entities that the they can now apply for loans. To keep payments affordable, these loans are long-term, with up to a maximum of 30 years for repayment. Terms are determined on a case-by-case basis, based upon each borrower’s ability to repay.

“We know Ohio businesses are struggling and we are going to do everything we can to help them,” said Lt. Governor Jon Husted. “We have taken quick steps to ensure the health and safety of Ohioans, and we are going to give that same attention to ensuring our businesses are successful and jobs remain available. I encourage the SBA to quickly approve our application.”

Development coordinated with the Ohio Emergency Management Agency and reached out to local businesses for information to compile the application.

“In the last three days, more than 1,500 businesses have shared their stories with us about the challenges they are facing, which informed our application for these disaster loans,” said Lydia Mihalik, Director of Development. “The need is urgent, and we are moving quickly to support Ohio’s small businesses and non-profits.”

As efforts to combat the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus continue, Governor DeWine and his administration will continue to identify ways to support the state’s small businesses and non-profits. Any of these entities impacted by the ongoing health crisis are encouraged to contact Development at [email protected] for assistance.

"The IRS recognizes that the language on our page potentially caused concern for some taxpayers. We have changed the language in order to lessen any confusion. Transacting in virtual currencies as part of a game that do not leave the game environment (virtual currencies that are not convertible) would not require a taxpayer to indicate this on their tax return."

As it stands now, about 90,000 STEM-subject PhD and 50,000 non-STEM PhD candidates will face an additional $2,000 annual federal tax bill with the end of non-taxable tuition waivers under the proposed tax bill. Aren't we as a country supposed to be trying to increase our status in the sciences and technology so we aren't as reliant upon foreign students?

That isn't even counting the loss of the Lifetime Learning Credit, which is partially offset by the American Opportunity Credit's additional year, but for those who have to go to college to stay current in their field, that will not matter.

Under the proposed GOP tax plan, families paying for a nursing home stay from their own funds, which often means selling long term investments with huge gains will be paying significantly more in taxes.

By now I am sure you have heard about the Equifax breach. 143 million Americans have had their personal information stolen.

Guess what? There is enough information stolen for crooks to file a tax return fraudulently. Want more bad news? You can't get a PIN number from the IRS to keep your return safe until after your identity has been stolen.

Moral of this story? Don't be surprised if your return is rejected this year, and don't blame the preparer. I guess the good news is misery loves company. You likely won't be alone.

Just prepared an amended 2015 return for a new client who went to the IRS to prepare his return. They got the wages wrong, ignored the mileage log for his business, calculated the Shared Responiblity payment for the ACA wrong which wouldn't have existed if the agent had asked the correct questions, and prepared the Ohio return incorrectly as well.

Of course, you could just come see me.....

Trump's proposed 14 percent reduction for the IRS would necessitate a sharp cutback in enforcement and customer service.

Really? We do know this is an award show, right? Mistakes happen to the best of us, but to require protection for something like this borders on ridiculous.

The accountants responsible for the show-ending mixup at the Academy Awards will never work the Oscars again, the academy told NBC News.
