Year-end tax planning is always important. However, the year 2020 has been unprecedented in many ways, and many businesses have experienced challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act and Tax Cuts and Jobs Act allow corporations to claim unused Alternative Minimum Tax credits, giving businesses opportunities to file for quick refunds.
According to President Donald Trump’s COVID-19 disaster declaration, businesses in all 50 states may be eligible for refunds from particular forms of losses. This provision allows businesses to claim quick refunds for losses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Also, the IRS guidelines provide relief for businesses that invest in Qualified Opportunity Funds. Considering such factors, businesses that anticipate a loss at the end of the year can file for quick refunds after being appropriately guided by a team of professionals.
