State and Local Tax Implications and Guidance for COVID-19

It goes without saying, we are living in unprecedented times. In addition to the impact on our communities and families, businesses—large and small— are facing significant challenges due to COVID-19. Many states and localities are trying to assist those affected by offering extensions of time to file and pay certain taxes. But, beyond extensions, there are other potential state tax considerations and issues resulting from COVID-19. These can include, but are not limited to, state conformity to federal tax relief provisions, nexus considerations in light of employees working from home, credits and incentives opportunities, and how the interruption in the way we traditionally interact with state taxing agencies may affect audits and controversies. Please join professionals from KPMG’s State and Local Tax Practice as they discuss how states have reacted thus far and delve deeper into these state tax considerations.
