CARES ACT (RECOVERY REBATE FOR INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYERS)
- All U.S. residents with adjusted gross income up to $75,000 ($150,000 married), who are not a dependent of another taxpayer and have a work eligible social security number, are eligible for the full $1,200 ($2,400 married) rebate. In addition, they are eligible for an additional $500 per child.
- The rebate amount is reduced by $5 for each $100 that a taxpayer’s income exceeds the phase-out threshold. The amount is completely phased-out for single filers with incomes exceeding $99,000, $146,500 for head of household filers with one child, and $198,000 for joint filers with no children.
- IRS will send out rebates automatically to their direct deposit or to the address provided on the last tax return submitted. Rebates sent via direct deposit will take a few weeks. Rebates sent via checks may take a few months

CARES ACT (401K)
Waives the 10 percent early withdrawal penalty on retirement account distributions for taxpayers facing virus-related challenges. Withdrawn amounts are taxable over three years, but taxpayers can recontribute the withdrawn funds into their retirement accounts for three years without affecting retirement account caps. Eligible retirement accounts include individual retirement accounts (IRAs), 401Ks and other qualified trusts, certain deferred compensation plans, and qualified annuities. The bill also waives required minimum distribution rules for certain retirement plans in calendar year 2020.
Changes to 401k contributions can be made at any time. To make the change, you must log in and submit it through the Bank of America/Merrill Lynch website.
