  • “32 states had received federal approval to offer an extra $300 a week in unemployment benefits as of 12 noon ET on Wednesday.

“IRS guidelines put employers on the hook for Trump’s payroll tax break” by Darla Mercado


 

  • “On Aug. 8, President Trump signed an executive order calling for a deferral of the employees’ portion of the payroll tax from Sept. 1 through the end of the year.
  • The IRS released guidance on the tax deferral on Friday night – four days before the deferral is supposed to take effect.
  • Tax professionals are skeptical of the guidance and say it places too much liability on the employer. Deferred taxes ultimately must be paid by April 30, according to the guidance.”
