“A Doctor Went to His Own Employer for a COVID-19 Antibody Test. It Cost $10,984.”

 “Physicians Premier ER charged Dr. Zachary Sussman’s insurance $10,984 for his COVID-19 antibody test even though Sussman worked for the chain and knows the testing materials only cost about $8. Even more surprising: The insurer paid in full.” by Marshall Allen

“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.”
