State Unemployment

Individuals typically not covered by unemployment insurance, including self-employed, independent contractors, freelance workers,  substitute teachers, childcare workers employed by religious affiliated  organizations and nonprofits can now file for unemployment. Those who  left their job for “good cause” because of reasonable risk of exposure  (self-quarantine) or due to caring for a family member affected by the  virus are also eligible.

In order to efficiently process unemployment claims, Kentuckians  filing for unemployment benefits should follow a schedule designating  what day they can file their claim. The schedule, which is based the  first initial in their last name, as can be found HERE. Individuals filing for unemployment benefits should also visit www.kcc.ky.gov/Pages/default.aspx.

IRS Tax Payment Deferral

Under the presidential emergency declaration, this action allows all  individual and other non-corporate tax filers to defer up to $1 million  of federal income tax (including self-employment tax) payments due on  April 15, 2020, until July 15, 2020, without penalties or interest. The  guidance also allows corporate taxpayers a similar deferment of up to  $10 million of federal income tax payments that would be due on April  15, 2020, until July 15, 2020, without penalties or interest. On Friday, March 20, the filing deadline was moved from April 15 to July 15. Learn more here: www.irs.gov/coronavirus

Local and State Tax Deferral

As a result of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), Kenton  County Fiscal Court and partnering cities have extended both the filing  and payment of the Net Profit / Gross Receipts Business Returns that  were originally due on April 15, 2020.  The filing deadline for these  returns have been extended to July 15, 2020 without  penalty or interest.  All Kenton County Occupational Licenses with an  expiration date of April 15, 2020 will now have that expiration date  extended to July 15, 2020.  The License should be renewed on the return as normal. 

This  extension applies to the Business Net Profit / Gross Receipts Return  only and does not include Quarterly Payroll Withholding returns and  payments.  Quarterly Payroll Withholdings Returns and payments are due  at the normal filing dates.
