  • New York Issues Guidance on How to Report the Decoupling from the CARES Act on the Personal Income on Tax Forms IT-201, IT-203, IT-204 and IT-205
    Jan 4, 2021

    Ever since New York decoupled from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in the 2020/21 Budget Act, tax practitioners have been asking how one reports a taxpayer’s income as required under the decoupling. This confusion arose because when the decoupling was enacted, no new Tax Law §§ 612(b) additions & 612(c) subtractions were enacted. However on Forms IT-201, IT-203, IT-204 and IT-205, taxpayers are still required to list the taxable items that comprise their taxable Federal adjusted gross income (AGI). Due to the decoupling from the CARES Act, these items may not be the same for New York.
  • PPP Loan Forgiveness Update
    Jan 4, 2021

The cancelled debt will be excluded from income under Reg. 1.265.1. Taxpayers cannot deduct expenses that are allocable to income, whether they are excluded from income or exempt from taxes. The IRS has previously determined that businesses whose PPP loans are forgiven cannot deduct business expenses paid for by the loan.
