Little-known COVID-Related Tax Benefits Could Save Small Businesses a Bundle this Year by Gene Marks
The CARES Act, which was passed last March as a result of the growing coronavirus pandemic, provided substantial funds to millions of small-business owners through its loan programs, as well as payroll tax credits for the most significantly affected employers.
But the legislation, which expires Dec. 31, also included a few lesser-known provisions for small businesses that could — along with some other savvy moves — significantly reduce our federal income tax bills this year.

On the Bright Side
BAY CITY, Texas — A Bay City 10-year-old girl is giving an entire new meaning to turning a frown upside down.
Olivia Deshotels, a 5th grader, lost her race for student council to her own sister. To help cope with her loss, she decided to use her voice and raise money to help give back to her community.
"I decided that since I couldn't help my school by being in student council, I would help the Boys and Girls Club by making a donation," said Olivia.
With the help of her family and friends, Olivia raised more than $1,300 for the organization. "We have a flyer from the Boys and Girls Club sitting on the island of our kitchen and she saw it, and it came with a donation card and she just took it to her room and filled it out and brought it back," said Olivia's mom. "We were just so impressed that we told our parents about it and they agreed to match her donation. Then, she called around to some of our other friends and family members, and before you know it, she had over $1,300."
