Tax Changes in the Wake of COVID-19: Special Supplement Available

Congress and the IRS have been busy on changing tax rules to help individuals and businesses get through the economic disaster triggered by COVID-19. The changes impact 2019 returns, as well as returns for prior years and for 2020. To help readers understand these changes, we have prepared a special COVID-19 Supplement (https://www.jklasser.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/JKL_YIT_2020_Special_COVID-19_Supplement_r1Apr14.pdf) to the 2020 editions of J.K.
