CARES Act tax provisions aim to stabilize pandemic-ravaged economy

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, H.R. 748, currently being debated in the Senate and expected to be voted on Wednesday night, contains a host of tax measures as part of a $2 trillion aid package designed to help the economy as it suffers from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. While the focus of the legislation is not tax, a large number of tax provisions are included in the over-600-page bill.
