Earlier this year, we reported that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was sending warning letters to micro-captive insurance companies and their clients. On April 9, the IRS issued a News Release that underscores its intent to target taxpayers who participate in abusive micro-captive insurance arrangements in 2021. New Jersey tax attorney Kevin E. Thorn, Managing Partner of Thorn Law Group, explains:

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently announced a safe harbor for certain Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan recipients. The safe harbor allows eligible loan recipients to claim deductions that they failed to claim in 2020. As New Jersey tax lawyer Kevin E. Thorn, Managing Partner of Thorn Law Group, explains, small businesses must meet certain requirements in order to claim safe harbor protection; and, when claiming additional deductions under the safe harbor, they must be careful to ensure that they are otherwise in full compliance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the Tax Relief Act of 2020, and other pertinent federal tax laws.
