Employers are scrambling to find ways to help their employees who are impacted by the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). Under Section 139 of the Internal Revenue Code…help is now available. Now that the COVID-19 has been declared a national emergency, IRS Section 139 can be used to allow Employers to make tax-free payments or reimbursements to Employees as “Qualified Disaster Payments.”
