Updated Guidance on Payroll Tax Deferral

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, allows for a payroll tax deferral of the employer share of Social Security tax that would otherwise be due from March 27 until December 31, 2020. Initially, this deferral was not available to those businesses taking advantage of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loans.
