Or that the seller would deliver the products and then receive payment.</span></p><p class=" " style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">If you are unable to pay the full amount, these agreements allow you to reduce your tax debt by paying it off in smaller amounts. The most common repayment term is 72 months. This option is not available to those who owe more than $50,000 in taxes, interest, and penalties.</span></p><p class=" " style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; background: white;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); letter-spacing: 0.75pt;"> </span></strong></p><p class=" " style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; background: white;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">Innocent Spouse Relief</span></strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); letter-spacing: 0.75pt;"></span></p><p class=" " style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which offers relief from joint and multiple liabilities arising out of joint tax returns, has the innocent spouse rule as one of the three types. This rule allows the applicant to be exempted from paying any tax, interest, or penalties due to erroneous information reported by their spouse. Any unreported gross income, incorrect deductions, credit, or property basis claimed or received by the spouse are all considered erroneous. A total relief is available to the applicant if they knew nothing or had any reason to know about the erroneous items, or partial relief if the applicant only knew about a part of the erroneous items.</span></p><p class=" " style="line-height: normal; background: white;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: rgb(65, 65, 65); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 1px;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); letter-spacing: 0.75pt;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">The IRS explains that an applicant for innocent spouse relief must satisfy three requirements. First, the applicant must have filed a joint tax return in which there is an understatement tax due to erroneous items that were not attributable to their spouse. Second, the applicant must not have known or had any reason to know that the tax was understated at the time they signed it. Third, the applicant cannot be held liable for the spouse's understatement tax given their facts and circumstances. </span></div></span></p><p class=" " style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">The spouse and the applicant must not have been involved in fraudulent transfers of property. If the applicant meets these requirements, they must file Form 857 with the IRS within two years of the IRS' first attempt to collect the higher tax. Exceptions may be granted for equitable relief.</span></p><p class=" " style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">This program will allow you to avoid penalties resulting from tax fraud or inaccuracies on your spouse's tax returns. This is a very specialized relief program.</span></p><p class=" " style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; background: white;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); letter-spacing: 0.75pt;"> </span></strong></p><p class=" " style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; background: white;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">Offer In Compromise</span></strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); letter-spacing: 0.75pt;"></span></p><p class=" " style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(65, 65, 65); letter-spacing: 0.75pt;">These numbers will be taken into consideration by the IRS and you may be eligible to file an Offer in Compromise. This is the closest the IRS can offer to tax forgiveness, except in very specific situations.

Right now, the minimum wage in California is $12 or $11 an hour, depending on the number of employees an employer has. However, some cities have higher local minimum wages, including Pasadena, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Berkeley. For many workers, this is something to commend.</font></p><p style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Agricultural workers also have cause to rejoice because in 2019, California just made it easier for them to receive overtime, or time-and-a-half, pay.

Now, there will be phased-in changes that, by 2025, will require all employers of agricultural workers to pay their employees for overtime after the much more standard 8 hours a day, or 40 hours a week.  For now, only agricultural employers of more than 25 employees will be affected, and they will be required to pay overtime when their employees work more than 9.5 hours a day, or 55 hours a week.</font></p><p style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 600; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;"><font size="4" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">2.

Moreover, by the end of 2021, boards with five directors must include two women minimum, and boards with six or more directors must include three women minimum. This is good news not just for women, but for everyone, as substantial research indicates that companies perform better and turn a bigger profit when women are on the boards (e.g., Credit Suisse, Catalyst, Peterson Institute for International Economics, University of California Davis, etc.). Moreover, this new legislation does not require men to lose their board member positions, as companies are permitted to increase the number of board members.  </font></p><p style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 600; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;"><font size="4" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">6.

The major issue they are expected to rule on in three upcoming cases is the protection of gay and transgender people against discrimination in the workplace. Specifically, the issue concerns the meaning and implications of the word “sex” in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which protects certain classes, including race, color, religion, sex, and national origin, from discrimination in employment practices: does discrimination against workers based on their LBGT-status qualify as discrimination based on sex?</font></p><p style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4">According to the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), nearly 70% of Americans support broad legal protections against discrimination for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. Furthermore, a Quinnipiac University national poll in April 2019 revealed that 92% of American voters think employers should be prohibited from firing people due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. On the other hand, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, nearly half (45%) of Americans incorrectly think federal protections against discrimination already exist for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_community" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; color: rgb(45, 136, 226); text-decoration-line: none;">LGBT community</a>. The lack of awareness hurts this cause that, evidently, the majority of Americans care about. Perhaps some of the confusion among the general public comes from the differences in state and federal laws, as well as the conflicting viewpoints presented by different federal authorities.</font></p><p style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4">While the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (<a href="https://www.eeoc.gov/" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; color: rgb(45, 136, 226); text-decoration-line: none;">EEOC</a>) has declared that Title VII does guarantee protections to gay and transgender people, the Department of Justice has stated the opposite, leaving only state laws to provide protections against LGBT discrimination. In states like California, LGBT workers do not have as much to worry about because they are legally protected from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, but in 28 states, there are no statewide laws at all that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in employment, housing, or public accommodations. This means, for instance, that many employers can fire workers just for being gay. Hence, the implications of these three upcoming Supreme Court cases are far-flung and greatly significant to workers across the nation.</font></p><p style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4">One of the cases that will be heard is <em>Altitude Express Inc. v. Zarda, </em>which concerns protections for the LGB part of the LGBT community, or the protection against workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation. Donald Zarda worked as a skydiving instructor at Altitude Express in Long Island, New York. Following him trying to reassure a female client about being strapped tightly to him during a tandem dive by telling her he was “100 percent gay,” Zarda was fired. His claim was that he was fired because he was gay and did not conform to the “straight male macho stereotype.” While Zarda lost initial rounds and then tragically died in a base diving accident in 2014, his estate pursued his case. The latest decision on it by the Second Circuit was in favor of sexual orientation being a protected characteristic under Title VII, as it is covered under the term “sex.” The court used the landmark sex stereotyping case <em>Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins </em>as precedent; in that case, it was ruled that Title VII prohibits employers from discriminating against people because of non-conformity to sex stereotypes (e.g. a woman must not be aggressive or a man must be macho).  </font></p><p style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4">Also concerning protection from discrimination based on sexual orientation, the case of <em>Bostock v. Clayton County </em>will soon be heard alongside Zarda’s case. Gerald Lynn Bostock worked as a child welfare services coordinator for the Georgia county for ten years. Then, he joined a gay recreational softball league and was criticized at work in front of his supervisor for his participation in it as well as his sexual identity in general. Bostock was promptly fired by Clayton County for “conduct unbecoming of its employees.” He filed with the EEOC for discrimination under Title VII for being fired because of his sexual orientation. Unlike the other two cases that will be heard with it, the latest decision on Bostock’s case was against the plaintiff, as the Eleventh Circuit approved of the lower court’s dismissal of Bostock’s Title VII claims.</font></p><p style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4">The last case that will be heard concerning LGBT employment discrimination issues is <em>R.G. and G.R. Harris Funeral Homes v. EEOC and Aimee Stephens. </em>Stephens worked as a funeral director for R.G. and G.R. Harris Funeral Homes in Michigan for six years and had an excellent work record. For most of her adult life, Stephens considered herself a transgender woman, but throughout most of her employment as a funeral director, she lived and presented to others as a man. The disparity caused her significant emotional distress, so in 2013 she decided to come out to friends and family that she was transgender, and she planned to soon undergo reassignment surgery. Stephens was fired promptly after informing her employer she would be transitioning from male to female. The EEOC, on her behalf, filed for sex discrimination under Title VII and the latest decision, made by the Sixth Circuit, ruled that the termination based on her transgender status did qualify as sex discrimination and thereby violated Title VII. When the Supreme Court hears the case, they will be answering the question of whether or not Title VII prohibits discrimination against transgender employees on the basis of either their status as transgender or sex stereotyping under <em>Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins.</em></font></p><p style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4">The Supreme Court will begin hearing these cases on October 7<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">th</span>, 2019. Of course, no one can say for sure what the Supreme Court will decide. Some worry that the conservative-leaning court will rule against LGBT anti-discrimination protections. However, it seems that the majority of Americans, across party and demographic divides, are on the side of LGBT workers’ rights in this matter.
