Client Alert
March 27, 2020

Although the IRS has automatically postponed the filing and payment deadline from April 15, 2020 until July 15, 2020 for most taxpayer returns, the IRS notice specifically does not apply to any Federal informational return.

Form 990-T is generally filed by an exempt organization to report certain unrelated business income.  If the exempt organization is required to file Form 990-T on April 15, 2020 then the deadline is automatically postponed until July 15, 2020 under IRS Notice 2020-18. A Form 990-T due on May 15, 2020 has not been postponed and will still need filed on May 15, 2020.

Forms 990, 990-EZ, and 990-PF are informational returns filed by exempt organizations annually with the IRS. Form 990 is due on May 15th of each year. IRS Notice 2020-18 does not apply to these information returns. Therefore, exempt organizations with a Form 990 filing date of May 15, 2020 are not afforded relief and will still need to file the return on May 15, 2020.

Now in Effect: DOL Final Rule on Classification of Independent Contractors

March 21, 2024Effective March 11, 2024, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has adopted a new standard for the classification of employees versus independent contractors — a much anticipated update since the DOL issued its Final Rule on January 9, 2024, as previously discussed by BMD.  In brief, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) creates significant protections for workers related to minimum wage, overtime pay, and record-keeping requirements. That said, such protection only exists for employees. This can incentivize entities to classify workers as independent contractors; however, misclassification is risky and can be costly.Client Alert

Florida's Recent Ruling on Arbitration Clauses

March 15, 2024Florida’s recent ruling on arbitration clauses provides a crucial distinction in determining whether such clauses are void as against public policy and providers may have the opportunity to include arbitration clauses in their patient consent forms. On March 6, 2024, Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeals reversed and remanded Florida’s Fifteenth Circuit Court ruling of Piero Palacios v. Sharnice Lawson. The Court of Appeals ruled that the parties’ arbitration agreement did not contradict the Legislature’s intent of Florida’s Medical Malpractice Act (the “MMA”), but rather reflects the parties’ choice to arbitrate claims entirely outside of the MMA’s framework. Therefore, the Court found that the agreement was not void as against public policy.Client Alert
