New Relief is in Sight

In addition to vaccines that are making their way into the arms of New Mexicans, the new year brings financial relief to businesses and individuals who have been impacted by the pandemic. Some of the details (such as how to apply for new PPP loans) are still pending SBA rules, but you will find highlights of the legislation below.

January is the time to begin collecting your records in preparation for tax reporting. And businesses get one more day to prepare and submit 1099 and W-2 forms because the usual deadline, January 31, falls on a Sunday.

Questions? We're here to serve you! Just call to schedule an appointment.

Here's to a healthy and happy 2021!
