IRS Procedures that May Save you Money
Litigation Reports
Many companies are experiencing a downturn in business because of the deepening economic crisis. Corporations suffering in today’s difficult business environment may have an immediate need for funds for various purposes, including continued operations, meeting payroll or complying with credit covenants. Even corporations on solid ground may need funds to take advantage of business opportunities or solidify their base. Grant Thornton LLP has developed the summary document, IRS procedures offer relief to cash-starved businesses, to share information on procedures - already available under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) - that may allow corporations to receive refunds quickly or defer payment of tax.
“Since tax, in its various forms, is usually one of the biggest overhead costs in business, it is important for corporations to look carefully at how to manage that cost and its impact on cash flow,” said Rob Byrd, Tax partner in Grant Thornton’s Charlotte office. “While the Treasury and Congress have provided relief in the form of new guidance and legislation, corporations should also be aware of what’s already out there to help them. If a corporation qualifies for one of these procedures, there should be no reason to wait to get cash in hand or defer payment. Taking advantage of the administrative relief provided by the Internal Revenue Service can only help to improve liquidity.”

What Is Meant by ‘No-Fault’ Workers’ Compensation in Illinois?
If you were injured in a work-related accident and have been researching workers’ compensation, you may have seen it described as a “no-fault” system. One of the most important things to understand about the workers’ compensation system in Illinois is that it is based on a “no-fault” system. What does this mean, exactly?
Most employers in Illinois are required by law to have workers’ compensation insurance. And the workers' compensation in Illinois is a “no-fault” system, which means that any worker who has been hurt on the job is entitled to workers' compensation benefits. If you have been hurt on the job, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits no matter whose fault the accident was.
A no-fault insurance system, such as workers’ comp, works by paying claims regardless of who is to blame for an accident. This provides an important layer of protection for injured workers, sparing them from having to through additional litigation and the through the additional burden of proving who was at fault before receiving benefits.
In Illinois, even though you don’t have to prove that your injury was your employer’s fault, you do have to prove that your injury happened at work or as a result of work. If you would like help to file your workers' compensation claim, Krol, Bongiorno, & Given’s experienced workers' comp lawyers are here to help. With over 60 years of combined legal experience, the KBG law firm is a leader in the field of workers’ compensation law and we have earned the reputation as aggressive advocates for injured workers before the IWCC.
