In Notice 2020-18 (PDF), the US Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced special Federal income tax return filing and payment relief in response to the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) emergency. The IRS has now published Frequently Asked Questions providing additional information on the relief, some of which is relevant to employer-sponsored retirement plans, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). See our post on Mayer Brown’s COVID-19 blog for details on the guidance provided by the IRS.
