This version of checks is much clearer about eligibility for deceased people. If you were alive as of 1/1/2020, you are eligible. If not, nope.

Shout if you're reading page 1970 differently.
And here's the PPP tax deductibility language, which indeed lacks any qualifiers or guardrails.
I'm sure there's a story behind this one, but seems kinda obvious, no?
Per appropriations summary, IRS budget goes up 3.3% to $11.9B, not including special appropriations to make the stimulus payments, etc.

As I read the non-itemizer charitable provision, it is $300 for individuals and $600 for married couples in 2021 but I don't see where it changes the 2020 figure from $300 per return to $300/$600.
Some detail on FSAs. Bill would let plans allow amounts from 2020 to carryover to '21 and from '21 to '22. And would allow 12-month grace period for expenses for both years.
And some special rules to help people with dependent care FSAs who have children turning 13 -- the date after which expenses normally wouldn't be allowed.
