1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: State Alabama and no metropolitan area (elsewhere in the State). Quarters: second quarter of 2020 (Apr. 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020; orders from Mar. 13, 2020), third quarter of 2020 (July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020), fourth quarter of 2020 (Oct. 1, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2020), first quarter of 2021 (Jan. 1, 2021 to Mar. 31, 2021), second quarter of 2021 (Apr. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021) and third quarter of 2021 (July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021). Options: the federal layer, agencies and boards, standing duties, group meetings and trade shows and the Service's fourteen sentences answered.

This report is a record of the governmental orders and related instruments that The COVID Project has retrieved, verified and indexed for the State, metropolitan area, industry and calendar quarters selected. Each instrument appears with its issuer, its number and title, its dates, the quarters in which it was in force, the functions of a business it reached, its operative words, its enforcement provision, a citation and an exhibit identifier. Every exhibit identifier resolves to the instrument's record at covidproject.com/library, and to the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit.

The report is assembled from public governmental instruments, published organizer notices, published legal authorities and public court filings, and it reports what those documents say and when they were in force. It lists the instruments The COVID Project has verified and no others, so every count in it is a floor. It is not a filing, and it does not determine any person's eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit.

The report reproduces at covidproject.com/report?state=AL&quarters=2020Q2,2020Q3,2020Q4,2021Q1,2021Q2,2021Q3&federal=1&agencies=1&duties=1&meetings=1&answers=1. Every exhibit identifier in it resolves at covidproject.com/library/ followed by the identifier, and the exhibit file, where held, at covidproject.com/exhibit/ followed by the identifier.

Disclaimer

The COVID Project is a free public reference. This report is generated from public governmental instruments, published organizer notices, published legal authorities and public court filings that The COVID Project has retrieved and indexed; it reports what those documents say and when they were in force. It is not legal, tax or accounting advice, it does not create any professional relationship, it does not determine any person's eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit or the amount of any credit, and it is not a count of every order that existed. The COVID Project sells nothing and represents no one. Errors in any record can be reported through covidproject.com/contact with the exhibit identifier, and corrections are recorded with their dates.

2. Summary of findings

For each quarter selected, this section states what was in force for this selection on the quarter's first and last days, in the words of the Library's own quarter-by-quarter record for the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators and the federal layer. Exhibit identifiers in parentheses name the instruments. The table that follows counts the instruments listed in section 5 by layer and quarter.

The federal layer of this report is the Library's two federal files: FED-A, the health, safety and transport layer, and FED-B, the commerce, travel, workplace and finance layer, including the orders of the federal courts those files hold. The ecosystem clusters and the federal agency clusters are listed in the Library's federal layer at covidproject.com/federal and are not part of this report's federal layer; a quarter page counts every federal-level instrument of the quarter across those clusters as well, so its figure is the larger of the two.

3. The statute and the test

An employer is an eligible employer for a calendar quarter under the governmental-orders test if

the operation of the trade or business described in clause (i) is fully or partially suspended during the calendar quarter due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
CARES Act § 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 348; I.R.C. § 3134(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), 135 Stat. 4, 177

Congress enacted those words four times and never changed them. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of March 27, 2020 enacted the Suspension Clause at section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I), Pub. L. 116-136, 134 Stat. 281, 347-48, for wages paid after March 12, 2020 and before January 1, 2021 (§ 2301(m), 134 Stat. 351) (Ex. LAW-001). The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, Pub. L. 116-260, div. EE, §§ 206-207, 134 Stat. 1182, 3059-65 (Dec. 27, 2020), extended the credit to wages paid before July 1, 2021 and raised its rate to 70 percent; neither section touched the clause (Ex. LAW-002).

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. 117-2, § 9651, 135 Stat. 4, 176 (Mar. 11, 2021), added section 3134 to the Internal Revenue Code, whose heading repeats the CARES Act title and whose Suspension Clause reappears word for word at 135 Stat. 177, for wages paid after June 30, 2021 (§ 3134(n), 135 Stat. 182) (Ex. LAW-003). The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L. 117-58, § 80604, 135 Stat. 429, 1341 (Nov. 15, 2021), ended the credit for calendar quarters beginning after September 30, 2021, and left the third quarter of 2021 in place (Ex. LAW-004).

The clause has seven elements, taken in the statute's order: orders; from an appropriate governmental authority; limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes); due to COVID-19; the operation of the trade or business fully or partially suspended; during the calendar quarter; and due to those orders. The words "essential," "comparable operations," "telework," "customers," "voluntary," "more than nominal," "10 percent," "directed at," "jurisdiction over the employer," "proximate," "independent" and "sufficient" appear in none of the four enactments. The credit runs by calendar quarter; the six quarters the clause governs are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021.

The partial-suspension test and how this report applies it

In this report the Internal Revenue Service is the "Service," the Government as a litigant is the "United States," Notice 2021-20, 2021-11 I.R.B. 922, is the "Notice," and the statutory text above is the "Suspension Clause." Tri-State is Tri-State Memorial Hospital v. United States, No. 2:25-cv-0181-TOR, ECF No. 38 (E.D. Wash. May 28, 2026), the one federal decision construing the clause's words. Doc. 44 is the United States' opposition and cross-motion for summary judgment in Stenson Tamaddon, LLC v. IRS, No. 2:24-cv-01123-SPL (D. Ariz. Jan. 6, 2025), ECF No. 44; Doc. 49 is the summary-judgment order in that case of June 20, 2025; and the Br. for Appellees is the United States' brief in the appeal, No. 25-4217 (9th Cir. Jan. 30, 2026).

The statute controls, and the Notice does not. The United States has told two federal courts so: the Notice "is merely guidance" and "lacks the force of law" (Doc. 44 at 19); "the United States is not arguing that the IRS interpretation has the force of law or is entitled to deference" (Doc. 44 at 31 & n.8); "[w]hether Notice 2021-20 exists or not, the statute will control whether a refund is warranted" (Doc. 44 at 24). The court held that "the Notice carries no force of law and is entitled to no deference" (Doc. 49 at 27) and that the ten percent figure "is not an exclusionary cut-off point, but rather a safe harbor" (Doc. 49 at 26). In the Ninth Circuit the United States called the Notice "nonbinding guidance," its ten percent provision "a quintessential safe harbor," and wrote that "[t]here is no question of deference here" (Br. for Appellees at 26, 37-38, 58).

"Fully or partially suspended" means what the words say. On definitions both parties agreed, Tri-State held: "a 'partial suspension' is a temporary delay, interruption, or termination of a portion an employer's business. The language is plain" (Tri-State at 8-9). The court refused to read "more than nominal" as "significant": "the plain language and ordinary meaning of partial and nominal do not suggest either of those interpretations" (Tri-State at 10-11). The Notice's ten percent rules are "only administrative guidance"; "the IRS Notice provides a method for the test to be met not as a requirement to meet the test" (Tri-State at 15-16). "Due to" means "because of," which "[b]oth Plaintiff and Defendant agree" (Tri-State at 17), and "the Court recognizes that 'due to' requires 'but-for' causation" (Tri-State at 19). The argument that the virus rather than the order caused the changes fails: "[s]ick patients and employees alone did not require additional protocols" (Tri-State at 20-21).

This report applies the test in five steps, with the instruments the Library holds for your selection and no others. Step one, the order: the issuer, the instrument by number and title, its dates and its exhibit; the Service's own Q&A-10 treats "orders, proclamations, or decrees" as orders "without regard to the level of enforcement" (Notice 2021-20, Q&A-10, at 927-28). Step two, the function it reached: the part of the business the order governed, whether the customer-facing floor, the back of house, the office, the workforce, the supply chain or the customer base. Step three, the change it compelled: the operative words, quoted from the instrument, and the sanction behind them. Step four, the quarter: the days on which the instrument was in force, tested against its dates. Step five, the statute's answer: a function is a portion of the operation; a compelled change is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; but for the order no law required it; and on the definitions the United States agreed to, the operation was partially suspended during the quarter due to the order.

The statute does not ask whether the business was "essential" or stayed open: the Notice's own Q&A-17, Example 4, calls an open hospital under an elective-procedure order partially suspended (Q&A-17, at 930). It does not ask whether the business could telework: Q&A-15 finds a partial suspension wherever a workplace closure "causes the employer to suspend business operations for certain purposes, but not others" (Q&A-15, at 929). It does not ask whose customers were under orders: "a business may be suspended 'due to' a government order addressing a third party" (Br. for Appellees at 41). It does not ask whether a compelled measure was "voluntary": Q&A-14 reaches only a suspension "not due to a governmental order" (Q&A-14, at 929). And it does not ask for a percentage: "The 10 percent is not determinative ... Properly understood, it isn't an eligibility requirement" (Doc. 44 at 14). The Service's letters ask each of those questions. The statute asks one, and this report answers it, instrument by instrument.

How this report was assembled

The report is drawn from The COVID Project's Orders Library, which indexes the governmental orders that limited commerce, travel and group meetings in the United States from March 2020 through September 30, 2021. The Library is organized in layers, and the report walks them in order for your selection: the federal layer (proclamations, executive orders, agency orders and rules, and the federal courts' general orders); your State, from its first declaration to the instrument that ended its general restrictions; your metropolitan area's health officers, mayors and courts; the sector regulators of your industry (licensing boards, health departments, alcohol and gaming regulators, labor agencies and federal program rules); the clusters of authorities that are easy to overlook (ports, aviation, courts, motor-vehicle offices, tribal and territorial governments); the standing duties of your State and of the United States (communicable-disease, workplace-safety and liability-shield statutes); and the organizers' notices of the trade shows, conventions, seasons and tournaments your industry lost.

Every record carries one of two grades, and the report shows only these two. Primary source read means the compiler read the issuing authority's own text: the order as published, the register page, the codified rule, the court's docket entry. Confirmed from a secondary source means the instrument's existence, number, date and substance were established from an identifiable secondary source and the primary text was not read. Records graded unverified or not retrieved never appear. Every exhibit was retrieved from the issuing authority's site or from the Internet Archive's capture of it, kept only if its text contained a distinctive phrase of the instrument, hashed at retrieval and re-checked by a second reviewer.

Every instrument has one exhibit identifier, used everywhere on the site and in this report. A State instrument carries its two-letter State code and a serial number (Ex. TX-004 is Texas Executive Order GA-09 of March 22, 2020); a metropolitan instrument carries MET and the metro code; a federal instrument carries FED; a sector regulator's instrument carries SEC and the industry number, and an organizer's notice adds GM; an overlooked authority carries AGY and its cluster; a standing duty carries DUT and the State code, or DUT-FED (Ex. DUT-FED-001 is the general duty clause of the Occupational Safety and Health Act); a legal authority carries LAW.

The dates decide the quarters. An instrument is in force in a quarter only if its effective date fell on or before the quarter's last day and its end date, if any, fell on or after the quarter's first day. The six quarters are the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first, second and third quarters of 2021. Because the CARES Act applies to wages paid after March 12, 2020, and the Service's Form 941-X instructions place the credit for wages paid March 13 through March 31, 2020 on the second-quarter return, the orders of March 13 through 31, 2020, the first stay-at-home and closure orders in the country, appear in the record of the second quarter of 2020.

4. The orders, quarter by quarter

For each quarter selected, the instruments in force appear by layer: the federal layer (the Library's FED-A and FED-B files, including the federal court orders they hold), the State, the metropolitan area, the industry's regulators, and the agencies, boards and authorities whose orders resolve to the State. Within a layer the instruments that carry the industry's key limitation types come first, then the rest in date order. An instrument in force across several quarters is described in full where it first appears and listed in compact form in each later quarter. Every item carries its citation and its exhibit identifier.

Therefore, if states or regions have passed the Gating Criteria (symptoms, cases, and hospitals) announced on April 16, 2020, then they may proceed to Phase I.... Maximum use of all telehealth modalities is strongly encouraged. However, for care that cannot be accomplished virtually, these recommendations -- the first in a series of recommendations -- may guide healthcare systems and facilities as they consider resuming in-person care of non-COVID-19 patients in regions with low incidence of COVID-19 disease.

End of general restrictions, State of Alabama: State Health Officer, Safer Apart Order (amended April 7, 2021) (Ex. AL-049), promulgated by the Governor's supplemental proclamation of April 7, 2021 (Ex. AL-048); the last statewide health order, the Safer Apart Order as amended May 3, 2021 (Ex. AL-051), expired by its terms at 11:59 p.m. on May 31, 2021; the state of emergency was terminated by proclamation effective 11:59 p.m. July 6, 2021 (Ex. AL-079). (2021-04-09 (5:00 p.m.: mask mandate rescinded and every employer, retail, restaurant, close-contact, athletic-facility and entertainment-venue requirement converted to an 'encouraged' measure); 2021-05-31 (11:59 p.m.: last statewide order expired); 2021-07-06 (11:59 p.m.: state of emergency terminated)). What remained: April 9 to May 31, 2021: the quarantine of every person who tested positive (Safer Apart ¶ 2), senior-center compliance with Department of Senior Services guidelines (¶ 5), hospital, nursing-home and assisted-living visitation rules (¶ 7), the preemption clause (¶ 9), and the state of emergency with its licensure, notarization, remote-meeting and procurement suspensions; Birmingham Ordinance 21-31 (masks in public) to May 24, 2021; Supreme Court Administrative Orders to July 7, 2021; SB 267 from its passage. After July 6, 2021: SB 267; Supreme Court Administrative Orders No. 12 (to October 29, 2021) and No. 13 (August 23 to November 29, 2021); the August 13, 2021 state public health emergency (extended to October 31, 2021); Birmingham EO 88-21 and EO 87-20 (to December 31, 2021); Birmingham City Schools' mask requirement from August 2, 2021; the ADPH notifiable-disease reporting rule for COVID-19.

Preemption of local orders, State of Alabama: Alabama never enacted a statute barring local COVID-19 orders during the period, and its State Health Officer orders expressly preserved local power to be more stringent: from March 19, 2020 'the Jefferson and Mobile County Health Officers are authorized, after approval by the State Health Officer, to implement more stringent measures as local circumstances require' (Ex. AL-005 ¶ 9; AL-011 ¶ 11; AL-013 ¶ 17), and from July 15, 2020 'county health officers are authorized, after approval by the State Health Officer, to implement more stringent measures' (Ex. AL-027 ¶ 21). The orders preempted in the other direction: the April 3, 2020 order 'supersedes and preempts any county and municipal orders or ordinances, whenever adopted, that purport to impose less stringent COVID-19-related curfew or quarantine measures' (AL-013 ¶ 17), a clause repeated through March 2021. The July 15, 2020 mask amendment superseded 'all orders previously issued by county health officers concerning COVID-19 mitigation measures, as well as any municipal ordinances concerning the use of facial coverings,' with the proviso that '[i]f this Order's facial-covering requirement is rescinded, however, orders of county health officers and municipal ordinances pertaining to COVID-19 facial coverings may take effect according to their terms' (AL-027 ¶ 21); this displaced the Jefferson County Health Officer's June 26, 2020 order (AL-074) and Birmingham's Ordinance 20-69 series (AL-072, AL-073). The Safer Apart Order of April 7, 2021 superseded 'any municipal ordinance adopted before March 4, 2021, concerning the use of facial coverings' (AL-049 ¶ 9), which left Birmingham's Ordinance 21-31 of April 6, 2021 (AL-085) in force to May 24, 2021. Birmingham's own ordinances adopted the State Health Officer's orders by reference and made their violation a municipal offense (AL-070 § 1(b), § 3: fine up to $500). SB 267 (passed May 17, 2021; Ex. AL-078) barred State and local governments from issuing vaccine passports or conditioning services on immunization and barred every business in the State from refusing service on the basis of immunization status; Executive Order 724 (October 25, 2021, post-period; Ex. AL-080) directed State agencies not to enforce federal vaccination mandates.

5. Standing duties in Alabama

Alabama bound its employers through four standing layers of law that existed before March 2020 and ran through every claimable quarter. First, the health code. Ala. Code § 22-2-2(6) gives the State Board of Health power to adopt rules 'for administering the health and quarantine laws of the state, which rules and regulations shall have the force and effect of law,' § 22-2-8 makes the State Health Officer the Board's acting executive with the duty to 'take prompt measures to prevent' invading disease, § 22-11A-7 commands every person reported with a notifiable disease to 'conform to or obey the instructions or directions' of the health officers, chapter 22-12 supplies the quarantine power and warrantless arrest for its violation, and § 22-2-14 makes the knowing violation of any Board rule a misdemeanor with each day a separate offense. The State Health Officer's COVID-19 orders were issued under § 22-2-2(4) and adopted as an emergency rule of the Board on March 20, 2020 (Ex. AL-007), so the § 22-2-14 penalty attached from that day, as the Attorney General told every law-enforcement agency on March 21 and April 5, 2020 (Exs. DUT-AL-016, DUT-AL-017). Second, the Emergency Management Act. From July 15, 2020 every Safer at Home, Safer Apart and mask order was promulgated by the Governor under §§ 31-9-6(1) and 31-9-13, which give such orders 'the full force and effect of law,' with the § 31-9-22 penalty of a $500 fine and county jail (Exs. AL-026 and every later proclamation; DUT-AL-011 to DUT-AL-014). Third, the workplace duty. Alabama has no State OSHA plan; 29 U.S.C. § 654(a)(1) bound every Alabama employer directly, and Ala. Code § 25-1-1 independently requires every employer to 'do everything reasonably necessary to protect the life, health and safety of his employees,' defining safety to include 'conditions and methods of sanitation and hygiene' (Exs. DUT-AL-009, DUT-AL-010). Fourth, the liability shield. Act 2021-4 (SB 30), effective February 12, 2021 and retroactive to March 13, 2020, withholds its protection from a covered entity that a claimant shows 'did not reasonably attempt to comply with the then applicable public health guidance,' defined as guidance 'in any proclamation, order, or rule of the Governor, the State Health Officer, or the State Board of Health' (Ex. DUT-AL-015); the Governor's May 8, 2020 proclamation (Ex. AL-019) carried the same condition. The orders themselves wrote operating conditions in the imperative: 'all employers shall take reasonable steps'; 'all retail stores shall comply with the following rules'; the retailer 'shall take reasonable steps to comply with guidelines on sanitation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Alabama Department of Public Health'; ABC licensees 'shall abide by the directives of the State Health Officer in all aspects of the operation' (Exs. AL-013, AL-017, AL-020, AL-027, AL-035). Where the State chose a recommendation it said so ('are encouraged,' 'should,' 'strongly recommended': Ex. AL-049 from April 9, 2021; Two courts of the period stated the structure: the Middle District of Alabama held that the Board's rules 'shall have the force of law' and that Alabama law gave the State Health Officer 'the ability to issue orders in response to COVID-19' (Ex. DUT-AL-021), and the Supreme Court of Alabama recited the promulgation of each order under the Emergency Management Act with the § 31-9-22 penalty (Ex. DUT-AL-020). The measures an Alabama employer took to distance, screen, sanitize, mask, telework and reduce occupancy were the means of complying with duties the law imposed; the word 'voluntary' does not describe them.

The phase question

Whether the measures Alabama employers took beyond the words of the emergency orders were 'voluntary' within Notice 2021-20 Q&A-14, or were compelled by standing legal duties that bound employers independent of, and in addition to, the orders already in the Orders Library.

A.3. When may an ADA-covered employer take the body temperature of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic? Generally, measuring an employee's body temperature is a medical examination. Because the CDC and state/local health authorities have acknowledged community spread of COVID-19 and issued attendant precautions, employers may measure employees' body temperature.... an individual with the virus will pose a direct threat to the health of others. Therefore an employer may choose to administer COVID-19 testing to employees before initially permitting them to enter the workplace... An employer may require employees to wear protective gear (for example, masks and gloves) and observe infection control practices (for example, regular hand washing and social distancing protocols).

Applying this standard to the current circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, employers may take screening steps to determine if employees entering the workplace have COVID-19 because an individual with the virus will pose a direct threat to the health of others. Therefore an employer may choose to administer COVID-19 testing to employees before initially permitting them to enter the workplace and/or periodically to determine if their presence in the workplace poses a direct threat to others.... An employer may exclude those with COVID-19, or symptoms associated with COVID-19, from the workplace because, as EEOC has stated, their presence would pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others.

6. Partial suspension, element by element, for this business

This section applies the five-step test of section 3 to a business in Alabama with the instruments this report found for the quarters selected and no others: the order; the function of the business it reached; the change it compelled, in its own words; the days of the quarter on which it was in force; and the statute's answer. Where the Library holds only federal-layer and standing-duty instruments for a quarter, the section says so and applies the test to those instruments.

Second quarter of 2020 (Apr. 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020; orders from Mar. 13, 2020)

Step one, the orders. In the second quarter of 2020 the Library holds 275 instruments in force for this selection: 50 instruments from the State of Alabama (State Health Officer Scott Harris (announced by Governor Ivey), Order of the State Health Officer Suspending Certain Public Gatherings Due to Risk of Infection by COVID-19 (Applicable Statewide), Amended April 3, 2020 (with technical revisions dated April 10, 2020) -- the Stay at Home Order (Apr. 3, 2020) (Ex. AL-013); State Health Officer Scott Harris (announced by Governor Ivey April 28, 2020), Order of the State Health Officer Suspending Certain Public Gatherings Due to Risk of Infection by COVID-19 (Applicable Statewide), Amended April 28, 2020 -- the Safer at Home Order (Apr. 28, 2020) (Ex.

AL-020); and 47 more), 1 instrument from the agencies, boards and authorities of Alabama (Alabama Department of Corrections (Commissioner Jefferson S. Dunn), ADOC Public Announcement, 'COVID-19 -- ADOC Suspends All Visitation and Inmate Passes for 30 Days' (Mar. 16, 2020, with updates of Mar. 19-20, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-CORRECTIONS-EMA-GUARD-081)), 179 federal instruments (The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Guidelines for Opening Up America Again (Apr. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-192); CMS, Quality, Safety & Oversight Group, QSO-20-14-NH, Guidance for Infection Control and Prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Nursing Homes (Mar. 9, 2020; REVISED Mar. 13, 2020) (Ex. FED-097); The President and the White House Coronavirus Task Force (with CDC), The President's Coronavirus Guidelines for America: 15 Days to Slow the Spread (Mar. 16, 2020) (Ex. FED-190); and 176 more) and 45 standing duties (Legislature of Alabama (Code of Alabama 1975, Title 22), Ala. Code §§ 22-2-2 and 22-2-8 (standing) (Ex. DUT-AL-001); Legislature of Alabama (Code of Alabama 1975, Title 22), Ala. Code § 22-2-14 (standing) (Ex. DUT-AL-002); and 43 more). Each is an order, proclamation, rule or decree of a governmental authority with jurisdiction over the place or the trade, and each is listed in section 5 with its exhibit.

Step two, the function reached. The instruments reached these functions, in the Library's own labels: WF (Ex. AL-013); DR (Ex. AL-013); GATH (Ex. AL-013); BA (Ex. AL-013); CB (Ex. AL-094); OP (Ex. AL-005); CT (Ex. AL-055); EMP (Ex. AL-017); SL (Ex. AL-013); VS (Ex. AL-013).

Step three, the change compelled. State Health Officer Scott Harris (announced by Governor Ivey), Order of the State Health Officer Suspending Certain Public Gatherings Due to Risk of Infection by COVID-19 (Applicable Statewide), Amended April 3, 2020 (with technical revisions dated April 10, 2020) -- the Stay at Home Order (Apr. 3, 2020) (Ex. AL-013) ordered: "1. Effective Saturday, April 4, 2020, at 5:00 P.M., every person is ordered to stay at his or her place of residence except as necessary to perform any of the following 'essential activities'... e.

AL-017) ordered: "4. Protections for employees. Effective April 30, 2020, at 5:00 P.M., and unless otherwise permitted or required by this order, all employers shall take reasonable steps, where practicable as work duties permit, to protect their employees by: a. avoiding gatherings of 10 employees or more; b.…" Enforcement: Ala. Code § 22-2-2(4); preemption clause ¶ 15; penalty not recited (see Ex. AL-026 from July 15, 2020) State Health Officer Scott Harris, Order of the State Health Officer Suspending Certain Public Gatherings Due to Risk of Infection by COVID-19 (Applicable Statewide), Amended May 8, 2020 (Safer at Home) (Ex. AL-020) ordered: "3. Non-work related gatherings. Effective May 11, 2020, all non-work related gatherings of any size that cannot maintain a consistent six-foot distance between persons from different households are prohibited.... 7. Close-contact service providers. Effective May 11, 2020, close-contact service…" Enforcement: Ala. Code § 22-2-2(4); preemption ¶ 17 The operative words of every other instrument of the quarter are quoted in section 5.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from Mar. 13, 2020 to June 30, 2020, 110 days. Order of the State Health Officer Suspending Certain Public Gatherings Due to Risk of… (Ex. AL-013) was in force from Apr. 4, 2020 to Apr. 30, 2020, 27 of the quarter's 110 days; Order of the State Health Officer Suspending Certain Public Gatherings Due to Risk of… (Ex. AL-017) was in force from Apr. 30, 2020 to May 15, 2020, 16 of the quarter's 110 days; Order of the State Health Officer Suspending Certain Public Gatherings Due to Risk of… (Ex. AL-020) was in force from May 11, 2020 to May 22, 2020, 12 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 51 instruments in the quarter's record, 2 were in force on its first day, 26 on its last day and 2 on every day of the quarter; 1 carries no parsed date and is placed in the quarter by the record itself.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of the business; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the second quarter of 2020 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

Third quarter of 2020 (July 1, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2020)

Step one, the orders. In the third quarter of 2020 the Library holds 249 instruments in force for this selection: 38 instruments from the State of Alabama (Alabama Department of Public Health (State Board of Health), Emergency Rule 420-4-1-.13 ER, Statewide Social Distancing Requirements in Response to COVID-19 (Mar. 20, 2020) (Ex.

AL-004) ordered: "This supplemental proclamation shall ratify my previous order, issued orally on March 13, 2020, requiring the closure of all K-12 public schools at the end of the day Wednesday, March 18, 2020, with reopening scheduled for the start of school on Monday, April 6, 2020, should circumstances permit....…" Enforcement: Ala. Code § 31-9-13; 'to the extent a provision in this supplemental proclamation conflicts with any provision of state law, that law is hereby suspended for… The operative words of every other instrument of the quarter are quoted in section 5.

Step four, the quarter. The quarter's record runs from July 1, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 days. Emergency Rule 420-4-1, Appendix 1 ER, Alabama Notifiable Diseases/Conditions (COVID-19) (Ex. AL-081) was in force from Mar. 6, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days; Proclamation by the Governor: State of Emergency (COVID-19) (Ex. AL-001) was in force from Mar. 13, 2020 to July 6, 2021, 6 of the quarter's 92 days; Second Supplemental State of Emergency Proclamation (COVID-19) (Ex. AL-067) was in force from Mar. 20, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021, 92 of the quarter's 92 days. Of the 18 instruments in the quarter's record, 8 were in force on its first day, 12 on its last day and 4 on every day of the quarter.

Step five, the statute's answer. Each function named in step two is a portion of the operation of the business; each change compelled in step three is a delay, interruption or termination of that portion; and but for the orders, no law required it. On the definitions the United States agreed to and the court adopted in Tri-State, the operation was partially suspended during the third quarter of 2021 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19. The statute asks nothing further: not whether the business was essential or stayed open, not whether it could telework, not whose customers the orders addressed, and not for a percentage.

8. How to use this report

Keep this report with your payroll records and the other records that support your claim. The Notice itself describes what those records are. Q&A-70 says an employer "will adequately substantiate eligibility for the employee retention credit if the employer creates and maintains records that include," among other things, "any governmental order to suspend the employer's business operations" and "any records the employer relied upon to determine whether more than a nominal portion of its operations were suspended due to a governmental order or whether a governmental order had more than a nominal effect on its business operations" (Notice 2021-20, 2021-11 I.R.B. 922, Q&A-70, at 944-45). Q&A-71 says to keep those records "for at least 4 years after the date the tax becomes due or is paid, whichever comes later" (Q&A-71, at 945). This report is the first of those two items for your selection, and it is meant to sit beside the second.

If you have received a letter from the Service saying that no government orders were in effect during the quarter you claimed, this report answers that sentence with the public record, order by order. Read the quarter you claimed. For each instrument, the report gives you the issuer, the number, the dates, the words that commanded the change, the penalty behind them and the exhibit. Those are facts about the public record, and anyone can check them against the register, the code or the docket the report cites. The Service is free to argue about how much a given order affected your business. Whether the orders existed is not a matter of opinion.

Three points of public law matter to anyone holding such a letter. First, a notice that turns down a refund claim starts a clock. Under section 6532(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, a refund suit cannot be brought "after the expiration of 2 years from the date of mailing by certified mail or registered mail by the Secretary to the taxpayer of a notice of the disallowance of the part of the claim to which the suit or proceeding relates." Second, asking the IRS Independent Office of Appeals to review the letter does not stop that clock; the Service's own page on the letter says so ("Requesting an appeal doesn't extend this time"), and section 6532(a)(4) provides that the Service's later consideration of the claim does not extend the period. Third, the period can be extended only by a written agreement between you and the Service under section 6532(a)(2), made on Form 907, Agreement to Extend the Time to Bring Suit, and effective only if the Service signs it before the two years run out.
