We are living through uncertain and unprecedented times. Many of us have been or will soon be impacted financially by the ongoing crisis. We want to be here to support you with resources and all the programs you can take advantage of.
Here is the update on resources for COVID-19:
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has extended the Federal Tax Filing Deadline for Individuals and Corporations to July 15th.

Individuals who earn $75,000 in adjusted gross income or less would get direct payments $1,200 each. For every qualifying child age 16 or under, the payment will be an additional $500.
It phases out entirely at $99,000 for singles and $198,000 for couples without children.

Qualifying income levels will be based on 2019 federal tax returns, if already filed, and otherwise on 2018 returns. They will use the bank information and mailing address of your 2018 or 2019 returns for direct deposit if you e-filed, otherwise you will receive a check.
