The world suffers from the outbreak of COVID-19, and hence the accounting industry. It has been a difficult time for tax professionals as the tax season is underway and tax day is in the corner. Due to Covid-19 outbreak, the income tax deadline is extended from April 15th, 2020 to July 15th, 2020.
The worst-case requires consideration of various factors. All US citizens are advised to stay at their homes and work from home. Therefore, the use of tax software cloud hosting comes to the rescue at this time.
Here are the basic requirements for a smooth workflow during the outbreak:
Cloud Connectivity: As the employees are going to work from home so they require proper cloud connectivity. The other important requirement includes a proper portal for the exchange of information and cloud-based software.
Policies for remote working: Policies and procedures must be made properly, and strictly followed by the team to ensure smooth flow of work
Electronic delivery: Employees and customers should be prepared for the possibility of electronic delivery of data and documentation.
Filing extension: The filing extensions due to staff or client illness or local quarantine should be requested.
Sanitation: The establishment of sanitation procedures for the place the employees are working from.
These are some of the basic procedures that should be followed during this COVID-19 outbreak. The quality of the cloud hosting service is of utmost importance during this time.

I have a 20 year old that lives with me. The difference of me claiming her as a dependent and not is $608.00.
The difference for her is about $1,200.
Is it wrong/is there a downside of having her claim herself and me not, and she pays me the difference? We both get $600?
