The US DEPT. OF HOMELAND SECURITY DOES NOT ADDRESS THE DESIGNATION OF CRITICAL

INFRASTRUCTURE WORKERS  TO INCLUDE TAX PREPARER WORKERS OR BUISNESSES. THESE

GUIDELINES AS ADDRESSES IN THEIR GIDELINES DATED APRIL 17, 2020 ARE USED BY MANY STATES INCLUDING CALIFORNIA FOR THE BASIS OF QUALIFYING FOR THE NEWLY CREATED SELF EMPLOYED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS. IF YOU HAVE CLOSED YOUR BUISNESS BECAUSE IT IS NOT IDENTIFIED AS AN ESSENTIAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE ACTIVITY YOU WILL QUALIFY FOR THE NEW BENEFITS.

HAS ANYONE FOUND ANY DOCUMENTATION INDICATING TAX PREPERATION AS A CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE ACTIVITY ALLOWING YOU TO REMAIN OPEN AND SERVE THE PUBLIC AS A TAX PREPARER?
