IF they make this round of extra unemployment of $600 or whatever TAXABLE, watch how fast people will go back to work.
How long was this extra $$$ paid? 12 weeks??? That is $7200 already paid that won’t be taxable. Start charging taxes on it & the shift in attitudes will be visible.
Unemployment benefit is taxed and I believe the federal $600 will be treated the same way. Beneficiaries will receive a 1099-G as tax season begins.
Perhaps some people will get a very unpleasant surprise when they start doing their 2020 taxes.
