How do I determine if a 1099MISC "grant" issued to daycare facility due to loss of kids because of COVID is taxable income?

    Hi 1DeTaxman1,

    The IRS issued some Q&A's about Covid government payments to businesses. One answer states, "The receipt of a government grant by a business generally is not excluded from the business's gross income under the Code and therefore is taxable."

    In other words, based on that guidance, a Covid grant to your business would be included as taxable income for your business.
