Recent federal legislation will allow borrowers of PPP loans to take a tax deduction for payroll and other tax-deductible expenses incurred and paid with PPP funds. This new legislation reverses the IRS administrative policy, which disallowed a deduction for such expenses and will result in tax savings to businesses who used a PPP loan for tax-deductible expenses.
Businesses who applied for and received PPP Loans under $150K will not be required to complete Form 3508S or 3508EZ when applying for forgiveness. The new legislation will allow borrowers to complete a one-page application in which they attest to complying with the requirements of the CARES Act. The one-page application is expected to be available once the legislation is enacted.
