CPAR Taxes

CPAR - 2021/April, Seg 4 - ARPA, Tax Program Extensions, Deductibility Under CAA, and More

In the beginning of 2021, Congress was busy working on the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), a $1.9 trillion bill known as Stimulus 3.0. The bill was signed into law on March 11, 2021. It is the third Economic Impact Payment to eligible individuals as well as small businesses. At the same time the IRS was working, and still is, on several tax provision extensions and keeps issuing new guidance. Barbara Weltman, president of Big Ideas for Small Business, begins our discussion with ARPA and then continues with an update on various program extensions and their tax impact. Barbara also talks about income and losses from business activities, discharge of indebtedness, FSAs for 2021 and expense deductibility under CAA, and more.
