Millions of people will get their Economic Impact Payment by prepaid debit card Nearly four million people are being sent their Economic Impact Payment by prepaid debit card, instead of paper check. The determination of which taxpayers receive a debit card was made by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, another part of the Treasury Department that works with the IRS to handle distribution of the payments. These Economic Impact Payment Cards arrive in a plain envelope from Money... Network Cardholder Services. The Visa name will appear on the front of the card; the back of the card has the name of the issuing bank, MetaBank, N.A. Information included with the card will explain that the card is an Economic Impact Payment Card. Those who receive Economic Impact Payment by prepaid debit card can do the following without any fees: Make purchases online and at any retail location where Visa is accepted Get cash from in-network ATMs Transfer funds to their personal bank account Check their card balance online, by mobile app, or by phone This free, prepaid card also provides consumer protections available to traditional bank account owners, including protection against fraud, loss, and other errors. The card will come with instructions on how to activate and use it. Learn more at www.eipcard.com. See more

2020 IRA Required Minimum Distributions Waived Did You Know? The CARES Act that was signed into law on March 27, 2020 includes an important provision for taxp...ayers with various retirement accounts, including 401(k), 403(b), 457(b), traditional Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), and designated Roth accounts. For many taxpayers, the law waives their obligation to withdraw a certain amount from such accounts (called a required minimum distribution, or RMD) during tax year 2020. Under standard IRS rules for the above retirement account types, you would need to accept a 2020 RMD if you turn 72 years of age in 2020, turned 70 1/2 in 2019 or before, or are any age and inherited the account as a beneficiary. RMDs are usually taxed as ordinary income. However, the CARES act allows you to skip your 2020 RMD without penalty. Note that Roth IRAs are not affected by this waiver, since they do not have RMDs under normal circumstances.

IRS Suspends Many Installment Payments Until July Did You Know? To help people undergoing hardships as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, the IRS has launched a... set of new policies called the People First Initiative (PFI). The initiative provides temporary relief from certain payment obligations for many taxpayers, including those who either have an existing IRS installment payment plan, or are considering entering into such a plan. For existing installment agreements, payments due between April 1 and July 15, 2020 are suspended at the taxpayer's discretion. In other words, if you are currently unable to make the payments required under your installment agreement (including Direct Debit payments), you may discontinue your payments until July 15. However, if you can make any payments during this period you should do so, since interest will continue to accumulate on unpaid balances. The IRS strongly encourages taxpayers who cannot afford to pay their federal taxes to enter into a new installment agreement as soon as possible. The April 1-July 15 payment suspension period will apply to new agreements as well as existing ones. A tax professional can help you determine your eligibility to suspend your installment tax payments, and whether it is best to do so. The IRS will not default any installment agreements during the suspension period. In addition, many collection activities, such as liens, levies, and referrals to third-party collection agencies, have been suspended until July 15. However, field collection officers may continue to pursue compliance from some high-income taxpayers.
