How Will a Temporary Relocation During the Pandemic Affect Your Taxes?

How Will a Temporary Relocation During the Pandemic Affect Your Taxes?

If you relocated out of state during the coronavirus pandemic, whether to stay with family members or hunker down in a vacation home or Airbnb, you might want to find out whether your temporary change of scene will make your 2020 taxes a little more complicated.

Here’s why: If you worked remotely while living in a different state than the one associated with your permanent address, you might be required to file two state income tax returns. As Marketwatch explains:

If the “new normal” means a new address — even a temporary one — that can mean a new set of tax issues, experts say. That’s because states have different rules on how long it takes before a non-resident needs to start paying them income taxes.

In almost half the country, it can take one day for the requirement to kick in. Elsewhere, the clock starts after two months. Meanwhile, 13 states said they wouldn’t be requiring income tax from people who temporarily stay in their borders during the pandemic.

The 13 states currently waiving the income tax requirement for COVID-19 relocations are Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Carolina. If you relocated to one of the 37 states not on that list, it’s time to look up the tax laws in your temporary home—or (this is my personal recommendation) talk to a CPA.

This non-resident income tax situation can get really complicated, as not all states play by the same rules. Some states have what are called “reciprocity agreements,” by which people who live in one state and work in a neighboring state only have to pay income tax in their home state. In most cases, any tax you pay in your non-resident state will be credited against the tax you pay in your resident state (that is, you won’t be taxed twice on the same income), but there can be exceptions to this rule. You might need to talk to your employer about adjusting your withholdings so that each state gets its share of the money that comes out of your paycheck, and you might have to file a non-resident tax return in the state to which you relocated even if the rules indicate you don’t owe any tax in that state.

If all of this sounds confusing and time-consuming, don’t let that get you down—and don’t put all of this off into the future, either, as by then it could become even more confusing and more time-consuming. Keep records of when you lived where, how much money you earned while living in different states, what kind of tax withholdings and/or estimated tax were paid in each state and so on.

And then, once your records are in order, talk to a CPA. They can answer your questions, prepare your non-resident state tax returns and make the whole process much less of a nightmare.

Iran reins in family planning as population ages

Iran reins in family planning as population ages

Iran has limited the provision of family planning services at state-run hospitals as it tries to boost its population size.

Vasectomies will no longer be carried out at state-run medical centres and contraceptives will only be offered to women whose health might be at risk.

Such services will, however, still be provided at private hospitals.

The government has become concerned about fewer births and an increasingly ageing population.

Annual population growth has dropped below 1% and, if no action is taken, Iran could become one of the world’s oldest countries in the next 30 years, the health ministry says.

Just two years ago, the country was recorded as having population growth of 1.4%. The rate in neighbouring Iraq was 2.3% and 1.8% in Saudi Arabia, according to World Bank data.

Marriage and children within marriage are both in decline, Iran’s state-run news agency Irna reports, largely because of economic hardship.

Last month, Deputy Health Minister Seyed Hamed Barakati reported that the marriage rate had dropped by 40% in a decade.

“With this trend, we will be one of the oldest countries in the world in the next 30 years,” he said.

Iran enjoyed a population boom after the Islamic Revolution in 1979 but went to on implement an effective population control policy.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been calling for people to have more children, saying he wants the current population population of 80 million to grow to 150 million.

Fraser Health family throws a dinner party, triggering an outbreak and a stark warning -City News

Fraser Health family throws a dinner party, triggering an outbreak and a stark warning -City News

What does the phase 2 reopening mean for me? 

That’s the question many British Columbians have been grappling with since the province slipped out of the worst days of the pandemic. 

With the last few months having starved many of us of human interaction — the shared meals, laughs and simple comfort of being around friends and family — picking and choosing who gets into our new social bubble has become a tricky balance.

And nowhere have the stakes of that decision been more clear than when provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry revealed yesterday the isolation of an outbreak that erupted at a family dinner in the Fraser Health region, of which the Tri-Cities is a part. 

Of the 30 people at the gathering, 15 had become infected. As CBC’s Justin McElroy recently pointed out on Twitter, we’re at a point in British Columbia “where close to half of all covid cases in the last week are because a family thought a 30-person party where people went inside and outside was a-ok.”

And while that can just as well be read as a sign of how low the province’s caseload has sunk, for Dr. Bonnie Henry, it’s also forewarns of the danger of becoming too complacent. 

“That is a warning sign to us all,” said Henry Tuesday. “It is not that somebody intentionally brings that into their community, to their loved ones, to their family.”

Henry’s warning comes at a time when the virus continues to peak across the globe, ravaging countries like Brazil and Peru, the latter of which took early and decisive action again the pandemic.

More than seven million cases of COVID-19 have been reported to the World Health Organization, and over 400,000 deaths. In the countries showing positive cases, complacency is the biggest threat, according to the organization.

But no matter what country the pandemic is raging in, “we are all connected,” Henry said.

“We know from several months ago that it matters to us when something like this happens in China,” she said. “It matters to us when something happens in Italy, in Spain. It matters to us when it happens in the United States and here in Canada.”

“I want everyone to understand that the COVID-19 pandemic around us is far from over.”

Alexis Ohanian says he left Reddit board to help make ‘real positive change’

Alexis Ohanian says he left Reddit board to help make ‘real positive change’

Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian resigned from the company’s board last week in an effort to push the platform to become more diverse. Reddit on Wednesday made good on its promise to hire a black board member, appointing Y Combinator CEO Michael Seibel. 

On Thursday, Ohanian, who co-founded Reddit in 2005 with Steve Huffman and Aaron Swartz, told CBS This Morning that leaving the company was a “hard decision,” but that he did it for his his 2-year-old daughter and his wife, tennis pro Serena Williams. (Editors’ note: CNET and CBS This Morning are both part of ViacomCBS.)

“Reddit was my first child. I started it right out of college,” Ohanian told CBS This Morning. “But looking inward, it was a hard decision until it was a really easy one … when I remembered that my greatest creation is not and never will be Reddit. It’s my daughter, and I want her to be proud of her father.”

Ohanian announced his resignation from the Reddit board on June 5, urging the company to fill his seat with a black candidate. His resignation followed criticism of Reddit on June 2 from former CEO Ellen Pao for “amplifying” racism and hate. In a blog post Friday, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said the platform will also change its content policy to “explicitly address hate.”

“I think if we follow this drumbeat of support, both offline and online, I think we’re going to see more and more tech businesses in particular taking more responsibility over not just the content on their platforms, but also the diversity of their workforces,” Ohanian told CBS This Morning. 

The changes come as Black Lives Matter protests continue across the US and the globe, with people demonstrating against the recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, and against systemic racism.

Welcome the Newest Additions to the Fermob Family

Welcome the Newest Additions to the Fermob Family

We love the clean lines and bold color palette that Fermob’s outdoor furniture collections always bring to the table, so we’re excited to introduce you to the latest additions to their family. From aluminum tables that wouldn’t be amiss in an art gallery, to a lounge chair and footrest that can be used indoors or out, these pieces stand strong in the aesthetic that the company is known for.

The Bebop family is expanding with the addition of several minimal, airy, versatile tables that can be put to use in just about any room you can think of. Designed by Tristan Lohner and made of 100% aluminum, Bebop tables are super light and ready to stand up to just about every climate condition. Group them together in various sizes for a custom arrangement, choosing from all 24 shades of Fermob’s color chart.

Bebop SIde Table in Bleu Lagune

Bebop Side Table in Vert Cedre

Lorette Folding Chair in Miel

The Lorette collection, a collaboration with designer Frédéric Sofia, blends French garden furniture with a resort style feel. The motifs are inspired by mashrabiya latticework, and similar to the concept of canework in traditional garden gates. The series includes a steel framed folding chair and folding table with detailed perforated steel sheets, with both designed specifically for outdoor use and offered in Fermob’s entire color palette.

Luxembourg Bar Stool in Rose Praline

Initially created for the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, the Luxembourg collection has become iconic in its own right. The aluminum series has Frédéric Sofia to thank for reinterpreting the chairs and armchairs that were originally designed in 1923, with a result that combines the lightness and resistance of aluminum with the comfort of curved seat slats. The new stools come in two sizes, a dining height stool and a stackable high chair.

Surprising Teak Chair

Fermob turned to the GuggenbichlerDesign team to create a cousin to their existing Surprising Chair in the Surprising collection, a steel version called Surprising Teak. They also partnered with Vlaemynck, a long-standing expert in teak, to bring this sturdy, warm piece to life. It, along with the matching Surprising Teak Footrest, have been treated for the outdoors but would look great as an indoor lounge chair as well.
