Puerto Rico Extends the Deadline for Special Disaster Distributions

The Puerto Rico Treasury Department (?Ç£Puerto Rico Treasury?Ç¥) recently issued Internal Revenue Circular Letter (?Ç£CC RI?Ç¥) 20-29 extending the period to make ?Ç£Special Disaster Distributions?Ç¥ from qualified retirement plans and IRAs from June 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020. See our prior blog post here for details regarding what distributions qualify as Special Disaster Distributions. Other provisions of previously issued CC RI 20-09 (which provides rules applicable to distributions), CC RI 20-23 (which amends CC RI 20-09 to add additional eligible expenses), and CC RI 20-24 (which removes the requirement of signing before a notary public) continue in force.
