    Question

    Travel restrictions, market crashes, lockdown orders, and many other consequences related to COVID-19 are affecting businesses and workers.

    Washington state had the first case of COVID-19 in the United States and has had 2,221 cases and 111 deaths to date. On Monday, March 23, 2020, Washington state Governor Inslee issued a “stay-at-home” order, prohibiting non-essential activities until April 8.

    What will the Department of Revenue post as the total 2020 Q1 gross business income (across all industries) here?
