2020 is the year of COVID-19. The deadly coronavirus pandemic has totally upended our lives, real and tax.

Obviously, our actual lives and those of our families, friends, neighbors and larger circles in which we usually travel are the most important.

But part of keeping those sectors safe and ongoing is trying to hold on to some sort of normalcy.

And, of course, that means keeping up with — or trying to — with how COVID-19 has affected our tax lives.

Thus was born this special Coronavirus and Taxes blog page.

We're kicking it off with COVID-19 posts because, well, it's my blog! The following posts are ones that are predominantly focused on new laws, Treasury and/or IRS rulings and proposed legislation that does or might affect our taxes. This list will be updated as I post new coronavirus tax items. There also are some posts during this time frame, which started in early March, that tangentially reference COVID-19's effects on taxes. If you're interested in seeing those, too, you can browse the new Coronavirus COVID-19 category. The posts above will show up, too, but just keep scrolling to find others that didn't make this coronavirus tax specific list.

Now to other off-blog resources.

First, there are the official government sites. 
Internal Revenue Service (IRS): Coronavirus Tax Relief and Economic Impact Payments

And, of course, there are other sites following the pandemic's tax effects.

But in order to keep this page from following the excessive pieces of coronavirus legislation when it comes to length, I've focused below on web pages posted by professional firms, associations and other taxcentric entities that are providing valuable coronavirus-related tax information and advice.
