This has obviously been anything but an ordinary year and tax guidance has been issued to provide some relief. In 2020, Congress passed the CARES Acts, in response to the pandemic, and many of these provisions will help mitigate the financial impact of the disease, which should be considered as part of your yearend planning to take advantage of them and the effects of the Secure Act to decrease 2020 income tax liabilities for individuals and businesses.
