Although not entirely having anything to do with income tax, does anyone know the official status of the signing of the Memorandum by President Trump that defers certain payroll tax obligations from 9/1 - 12/31/20.  Is it going to actually be allowed and what is the protocol as of today?

Some light reading on the subject is below.  Great idea - skip withholding Social Security now and pay it back later ------------ well, at least one person thought it was a great idea.

I haven't had anyone ask about it, I will be advising against the deferment though....will make for a lousy holiday season when that balance comes due.

Don't know if it has been implemented or not, but Trump said if he is elected you won't have to pay it back

He also said Mexico was paying for the wall ------------------ so take that with a grain of salt.  But then again, maybe he is planning on having Mexico paying back the payroll taxes too.
