I'm in the unemployed self employed category from day 1 of this bullshit! I understand how everyone else feels and have the same frustrations. I have had issue with taxes before this and had a very interesting conversation with the IRS the other day that tells me they are in a world of shit as well. (I just happen to have some family members that are rather high in the IRS hierarchy) They are shuttering divisions right now because of the virus and are getting panicked as well. The local taxing authorities you can deal with because they really have no mechanisms to collect without IRS help. Not to say you don't have to eventually pay the money but you can negotiate from a position of relative strength. Especially if you are trying to protect a workforce.
