CitizenVectron Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Trump admin will not comply with transparency requirements in new bailout bill Openly saying they will not follow the rules in the bill pertaining to audits of $500 billion in corporate bailouts. Totally normal and I'm sure Congress will take his walking all over them seriously. Quote The administration says it won’t provide documentation for audits into $500 billion in corporate bailout funds. President Donald Trump said on Friday that he will not adhere to a portion of the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill that would authorize an inspector general to oversee how $500 billion in business loans will be spent. In a statement released early Friday evening, Trump announced that he had signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security or CARES Act, a relief package aimed at mitigating some of the economic fallout caused by efforts to allay the spread of Covid-19. That bill also establishes a Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery (SIGPR) within the Treasury Department to audit and investigate half a trillion dollars in loans for large businesses. In his signing statement, Trump said that this provision raises “constitutional concerns,” adding that his administration would not comply with such an official’s request for documents. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Best they can do is when the next round of stimulus comes, and I'm certain it will come, you can't allow any more bailouts.

Littleronin Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 So the bill included a break for individuals that purchase real estate. Quote When individuals buy real estate, even if they do so using loans or other people's money, they can "depreciate" -- or write off, over time -- the cost of the physical property on their taxes. Suppose, for example, that a taxpayer bought a $2 million building as an investment. He would be able to deduct, or subtract from his taxes, something like $100,000 a year for 20 years to defray the costs of buying and improving the property. The taxpayer would be able to take these deductions even if the building were going up in value. This is why Donald Trump loves depreciation, as he told the nation during a presidential debate in 2016 -- it's one of many ways he avoided paying millions in taxes. Such love seems to runs in the family: Jared Kushner has utilized tax depreciation, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Justice Department Investigating Burr's Stock Trades Quote The Justice Department is investigating stock trades made by at least one member of Congress as the U.S. braced for the pandemic threat of coronavirus, according to a person familiar with the matter. The investigation is being coordinated with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is looking at the trades of at least one lawmaker, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. As head of the powerful Intelligence Committee, Burr received frequent briefings and reports on the threat of the virus. He also sits on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which received briefings on the pandemic. In mid-February, Burr sold 33 stocks held by him and his spouse, estimated to be worth between $628,033 and $1.7 million, Senate financial disclosures show. It was the largest number of stocks he had sold in one day since at least 2016, records show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'm 99% sure: 1) If you didn't do this year's taxes but you did your taxes last year, you're fine, 2) which makes sense considering the deadline has been extended to July 15, so you don't have to wait as long for your check if you already did last year's taxes. 3) If you did either 2018/2019 or both, you're good.

Also, if you made more than the cutoff last year, then you don't get anything, even if you lost your job because of the pandemic, from what I understand.
