1. About this report

Prepared by The COVID Project, Sept. 30, 2026. Selection: State Arkansas 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=AR&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 Arkansas: EO 21-03 (Feb. 26, 2021) converted the Department of Health's business, capacity, venue and gathering directives to guidance and kept only the face-covering mandate to March 31, 2021; the Face Coverings Directive was 'Converted to Guidance Effective April 1, 2021' (Ex. AR-070); EO 21-07 (Mar. 31, 2021) renewed the emergency without EO 20-43 and fixed its expiry at 11:59 p.m. May 30, 2021 (Ex. AR-015). (2021-02-26 (business, capacity and gathering directives); 2021-03-31 (face coverings); 2021-05-30 (emergency)). What remained: After Feb. 26, 2021: the statewide face-covering directive to Mar. 31; the emergency and its incorporated orders (telehealth EO 20-05; notarization EO 20-14; health-care resources EO 20-18 and 20-52; business immunity EO 20-33 conditioned on compliance with directives or guidelines); the Secretary of Health's isolation and quarantine authority and the 14-day quarantine requirement on close contacts (Ex. AR-073); the long-term-care visitation directive (Ex. AR-068); the Supreme Court's jury-trial suspension to Apr. 30, 2021 and the Justice Building closure to June 1, 2021 (Ex. AR-026, AR-028, AR-029); Act 403 (Ex. AR-032). After Apr. 28-29, 2021: Acts 1002, 977 and 1030 (Ex. AR-031, AR-033, AR-034). After May 30, 2021: no State emergency until EO 21-14 (July 29-Sept. 27, 2021; Ex. AR-017); the Act 1002 injunction of Aug. 6, 2021 and school-district mask rules (Ex. AR-081); the DESE-ADH 2021-22 school guidance (Ex. AR-080); the federal layer (CDC conveyance mask order; TSA directives; OSHA Healthcare ETS from June 21, 2021; CMS long-term-care rules).

Preemption of local orders, State of Arkansas: State-driven and centralized: Arkansas has no county health departments. EO 20-03 par. 2 (Mar. 11, 2020): 'No quarantine regulations of commerce or travel shall be instituted or operated by any place, city, town or county against another place, city, town, or county in this or in any other state except by authority of the Secretary of Health.' EO 20-13 par. 12 and EO 20-25 par. 14 permitted 'reasonable' city and county curfews and closures of city or county parks and facilities. EO 20-37 par. 5 (June 18, 2020), repeated in EO 20-45, 20-48, 20-51 and 20-53: 'Cities and counties shall not impose any restriction of commerce or travel that is more restrictive than a directive or guideline issued by the Secretary of Health, in consultation with the Governor.' EO 20-41 (July 3, 2020) authorized cities to adopt a model face-covering ordinance after Fayetteville (June 16) and Little Rock (June 26) had acted; EO 20-43 par. 4-6 (July 16, 2020) permitted local ordinances 'consistent with this order,' provided that 'Cities shall not impose any measure that is in conflict with a directive or guideline issued by the Secretary of Health,' and superseded EO 20-41 while preserving the ordinances adopted under it. Act 1002 (Apr. 28, 2021) barred every State agency, political subdivision and State or local official from mandating face coverings; the Pulaski County Circuit Court preliminarily enjoined it Aug. 6, 2021 (Nos. 60CV-21-4692 and 60CV-21-4763), the Supreme Court denied a stay Sept. 30, 2021 (Ex. AR-081), and the circuit court held the Act unconstitutional Dec. 29, 2021. Acts 977 and 1030 (Apr. 28-29, 2021) barred State and local vaccination mandates and vaccine passports. Act 403 (Mar. 19, 2021) subjected the Governor's renewals and the Department's directives to Legislative Council review.

5. Standing duties in Arkansas

Arkansas bound employers through three standing bodies of law. (1) Act 96 of 1913, Ark. Code Ann. 20-7-101 et seq.: the State Board of Health has direction and control of all sanitary and quarantine measures (20-7-110), rulemaking power over quarantine, isolation and sanitary conditions (20-7-109), and every violation of its orders or rules is a misdemeanor, each day a separate offense, with a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation for rule and permit violations (20-7-101); the Board's Rules Pertaining to Reportable Diseases (eff. Jan. 1, 2019) direct the Director to impose quarantine restrictions upon commerce, travel and all individuals and forbid any person to interfere with a health authority; 20-7-113 makes violation of a gubernatorial nuisance-abatement order a misdemeanor. Every executive order from EO 20-13 forward recited 20-7-101 and ordered all law enforcement officers to enforce the Secretary of Health's directives; Act 401 of 2021 confirms by its own findings that businesses were penalized under this scheme and carves out only patron behavior. (2) The Emergency Services Act, 12-75-114: executive orders have the force and effect of law; the Governor may control the occupancy of premises (e)(7) and suspend regulatory statutes (e)(1); the Act has no general offense section, so the criminal route ran through 20-7-101. (3) The labor statute of 1937, 11-2-117: every employer shall furnish safe employment and do every other thing reasonably necessary to protect employees' life, health, safety and welfare; 'safe' includes conditions and methods of sanitation and hygiene for the protection of employees or the public (11-2-102); misdemeanor for each day of violation (11-2-104); Arkansas is a federal-OSHA State, so 29 U.S.C. 654(a)(1) binds every private employer. The liability shields (EO 20-33, June 15, 2020; Act 559 of 2021, Apr. 5, 2021) presume the absence of willful misconduct only for a business substantially complying with the directives or guidelines of the Governor, the Secretary of Health, the CDC and CMS. The Retail Food Establishment rules (eff. Sept. 7, 2019) make compliance with the regulatory authority's directives 'in response to community emergencies' a condition of retaining the permit, and the Department closed a Little Rock bar on July 4, 2020 under them. EO 20-35 (June 15, 2020) made COVID-19 a compensable occupational disease. The orders in the library used 'shall' and 'must' for the protocols that conditioned continued operation (EO 20-13 par. 3; the Business Limitations Directives; EO 20-37 par. 3 'shall adhere to applicable directives or guidelines'; the Face Coverings Directive) and 'should' or 'encouraged' for the items left to judgment; EO 21-03 converted the directives to guidelines on Feb. 26, 2021 with 'are encouraged to adhere', and the Supreme Court ordered all State courts to 'continue to follow' the ADH guidelines on Apr. 8, 2021.

§ 1977.12(b)(2):... If the employee, with no reasonable alternative, refuses in good faith to expose himself to the dangerous condition, he would be protected against subsequent discrimination. The condition causing the employee's apprehension of death or injury must be of such a nature that a reasonable person, under the circumstances then confronting the employee, would conclude that there is a real danger of death or serious injury and that there is insufficient time, due to the urgency of the situation, to eliminate the danger through resort to regular statutory enforcement channels.

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 Arkansas 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 265 instruments in force for this selection: 46 instruments from the State of Arkansas (Governor Asa Hutchinson, Executive Order 20-25 (May 5, 2020) (Ex. AR-005); Governor Asa Hutchinson, Executive Order 20-13 (Apr. 4, 2020) (Ex. AR-003); Secretary of Health, Arkansas Department of Health, ADH Directive for Camps, Including Day and Overnight, and Faith-based Organizations (April 17, 2020) (Apr. 17, 2020) (Ex. AR-046); and 43 more), 1 instrument from the agencies, boards and authorities of Arkansas (Arkansas Public Service Commission, Order No. 1, Docket No. 20-012-A, In the Matter of Administrative Orders Relating to the COVID-19 State of Emergency (Apr. 10, 2020) (Ex. AGY-ST-UTILITIES-HOUSING-AG-003)), 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 39 standing duties (General Assembly of Arkansas (Acts 1895, No. 152; Acts 1913, No. 96, sec. 5), Ark. Code Ann. 20-7-110, Study and prevention of diseases (standing) (Ex. DUT-AR-001); General Assembly of Arkansas (Acts 1913, No. 96, sec. 6), Ark. Code Ann. 20-7-109, Authority to regulate public health -- Exceptions (standing) (Ex. DUT-AR-002); and 37 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: CB (Ex. AR-056); GATH (Ex. AR-056); CT courts (Ex. AR-021); HR screening (Ex. AR-051); LG lodging (Ex. AR-041); CB litigants (Ex. AR-021); LG (Ex. AR-042); AM casinos (Ex. AR-043); EMP (Ex. AR-041); FB (Ex. AR-042).

Step three, the change compelled. Governor Asa Hutchinson, Executive Order 20-25 (May 5, 2020) (Ex. AR-005) ordered: "(4) All businesses, manufacturers, construction companies, and places of worship shall adhere to social distancing protocols issued by the Secretary of Health. (5) All travelers from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Orleans and all international locations shall follow the quarantine directives…" Enforcement: (16) force and effect of law; violation of a directive a misdemeanor, $100-$500 fine or one month, or both; all law enforcement officers shall enforce Governor Asa Hutchinson, Executive Order 20-13 (Apr. 4, 2020) (Ex. AR-003) ordered: "(2)(a) gatherings of more than ten (10) people in any confined indoor or outdoor space are prohibited until further notice... (3) All businesses, manufacturers, construction companies, and places of worship shall implement the following social distancing protocols: a. Limit the number of people who…" Enforcement: (13) Executive Orders of the Governor issued pursuant Ark. Code Ann. 12-75-101, et seq., have the force and effect of law. Additionally, pursuant to Ark. Code… Secretary of Health, Arkansas Department of Health, ADH Directive for Camps, Including Day and Overnight, and Faith-based Organizations (April 17, 2020) (Apr. 17, 2020) (Ex. AR-046) ordered: "Arkansas is currently operating under a directive prohibiting mass gatherings (more than 10 people) and further business and lodging limitations. All day camps, overnight camps, and camps supported by faith-based organizations must abide by social distancing protocols implemented by these…" Enforcement: Ark. Code Ann. 20-7-101 misdemeanor 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. Executive Order 20-25 (Ex. AR-005) was in force from May 5, 2020 to June 19, 2020, 46 of the quarter's 110 days; Executive Order 20-13 (Ex. AR-003) was in force from Apr. 6, 2020 to May 5, 2020, 30 of the quarter's 110 days; ADH Directive for Camps, Including Day and Overnight, and Faith-based Organizations (April… (Ex. AR-046) was in force from Apr. 17, 2020 to May 31, 2020, 45 of the quarter's 110 days. Of the 47 instruments in the quarter's record, 5 were in force on its first day, 27 on its last day and 3 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 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 236 instruments in force for this selection: 28 instruments from the State of Arkansas (Secretary of Health, Arkansas Department of Health, ADH Directive Regarding Large Outdoor Venues (amended May 11, 2020; effective May 4 for 50 or fewer, May 18 for 33 percent, June 15 for 66 percent) (Ex.

FED-097); CMS, Quality, Safety & Oversight Group, QSO-20-30-NH, Nursing Home Reopening Recommendations for State and Local Officials (May 18, 2020; REVISED Mar. 10, 2021; expired Mar. 10, 2021) (Ex.

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.

The COVID Project does not give legal advice, and this report is not a substitute for it. Take it to your accountant, your enrolled agent or your lawyer. The dates above are public law, and the decisions they call for are yours and your adviser's to make.
