If you filed a 2018 Tax Return or later (or gave the IRS your updated information), and made less than $75,000 in income ($150,000 for married couples), you will receive a Stimulus Payment.

  The CARES Act allowed for an additional, “above-the-line” deduction for charitable gifts made in cash of up to $300 ($600 for married couples). This provision is extended into 2021 for taxpayers filing single/separately.

The loan limit for 401k loans has been increased from $50,000 to $100,000.

The Cares Act waives the 10% early withdrawal penalty for 2020 distributions of up to $100,000 for coronavirus-related purposes, retroactive to Jan. 1 2020. Withdrawals are still taxed, but taxes are spread over three years, or the Taxpayer has a three-year period to roll it back over.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act net operating loss rules are modified. The 80% rule is lifted, and losses can now be carried back five years.
