Deborah A Carr P.C.

Celebrating this special Lady’s birthday Couldn’t do it without you! Thank you Vicki and Joanne for joining. And Skip wasn’t having such a bad day with the ladies .

I made the decision to cut my Saturday hours. It was a wild week of SBA loans and Stimulus and I am sure only the tip of the iceberg. We are working hard from home and hope to take next week to reach out to those who haven’t gotten their returns yet. I apologize for any inconvenience. We are always available for questions via email. [email protected] Reach out if you need to. Stay home if you can because you need to.... Prayers for all those fighting on the frontlines. I cannot even imagine and am in awe of your selflessness. Stay safe

We are all trying to keep on top of the changes, benefits and relief that is available to to the taxpayers and Small Business. Our current office hours are being changed to: Monday thru Thursday 9-5. ... We are not allowing people in the office but will be here to answer the phones. We are also available via email and will respond during off business hours. We are in the process of contacting those whose returns are completed and trying to find a safe way for everyone to get their information. Please be patient. Please let us know if you have any questions that we can find the answer for. We are all learning as we go. Be kind and stay safe.

Unsure of the details or how but there looks like there is some relief for the Self Employed small business: Gig workers, freelancers, self-employed are eligible In an unprecedented move, the stimulus bill expands unemployment protections to gig workers, freelancers and self-employed individuals, who typically don’t qualify for unemployment benefits.... Seth Harris, former Deputy U.S. Secretary of Labor, describes this aspect of the stimulus package as a gigantic change, but notes that it could be complicated to execute. It will be harder [to calculate] because these workers don’t have a W-2 or an average weekly wage, Harris says. These folks have income that varies dramatically from week to week or month to month. It’s not clear yet how state benefits will be calculated for these workers; unemployment is traditionally calculated as a percentage of weekly earnings, up to a maximum amount.
