As a follow-up to our previous article, 2021 Tax Planning Opportunities for the Construction Industry, additional coronavirus relief-related legislation has been passed in addition to the CARES Act.

  • Net Operating Losses
  • Excess Business Loss Limitations
  • Employee Retention Credit
  • Delay of Payment of Employer Social Security Taxes
