Sweetheart Tax Deduction For Wealthy Included In Covid Relief Bill.  This is what ‘reaching across the aisle’ gets you:

The bill provides that businesses claiming expenses reimbursed by PPP forgivable loans, which are already tax-free, can be further used as deductions when calculating taxable income. In other words, the change would allow a corporation that claimed $1 million in PPP reimbursements to apply that money as a deduction on its tax return, reducing taxable income by $1 million.

Critics of this idea, first circulated by a bipartisan set of legislators last summer, note that it provides an unprecedented tax advantage that overwhelmingly benefits investors and high-net-worth professionals. IRS rules have long prohibited tax-free government grants and reimbursements from being used as deductions.

Worst Pandemic Day Ever.  Over 3600 deaths? In one day? AYFKM?  BTW, weekly jobless claims are on the rise.
