This episode focuses on the big picture view of “the new normal for taxes” since there have been several changes connected to the coronavirus pandemic.

Some tips:
- If there were issues with the economic impact payment, some of the potential assistance I know about are the phone number 1-800-919-9835 or using IRS form 3911. Otherwise, the main advice I have is to file a 2019 tax return separately if you need to show on record that you are no longer with the spouse from a joint return so that you can potentially receive the payment as a refund on the 2020 tax return.
