On November 18, 2020, the IRS released Revenue Ruling 2020-27, amplifying Notice 2020-32, and simultaneously issued Revenue Procedure 2020-51. Both provide further clarity on deductibility of expenses paid with Payroll Protection Plan (PPP) funds and, not surprisingly, leave us with more unanswered questions.

Since our last comprehensive Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) update, the Treasury and Small Business Administration (SBA) have continued to issue new guidance for the PPP. The continuous stream of new guidance caused most banks to delay opening their PPP forgiveness portals until recently. Now that forgiveness applications are being accepted by most banks, and as promised in our recent PPP Update #16, today we will

Let us take a break from the election and get back to our favorite (read: most confusing) stimulus, the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Over the next week, we will provide various updates that occurred since our last PPP blog update. Today, we will focus on an update from last week that provides insight into how the Small Business Administration (SBA) will review PPP loans of $2 million or more. If your

Welcome to the 15^th iteration of what is new with the Paycheck Protection Program. There are no prizes for remembering anything in the first 14, but we hope to provide some clarity on specific issues addressed in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on PPP Loan Forgiveness (Forgiveness FAQs) issued on August 4. The Forgiveness FAQs are the first piece of significant additional guidance issued since our last

The Treasury continues to rewrite guidance based upon the changes passed within the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (PPPFA). Overnight on Monday, June 22, the Treasury released the 20^th Interim Final Rule (IFR). There are no surprises on what to expect with the 20^th IFR: some clarifications, a few new things, and you guessed it, more unanswered questions. Today, we will focus on a significant new

Since our last blog, the Treasury issued two additional Interim Final Rules (the 18^th and 19^th), revised the original loan forgiveness application for changes made by the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act (PPFA), and issued a new EZ loan forgiveness application. If you are up to date with our blogs, we are starting to compare the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to extra-innings in the longest baseball

We discussed “potential” changes to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), that were introduced in the House on May 15 in our PPP Update #10. Soon after, the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act (PPFA) passed the House by a vote of 417-1.  On Wednesday night, June 3, the Senate passed the PPFA unanimously with no changes. It is anticipated the President will sign the PPFA into law.  Today we will discuss the

Treasury kicked off the holiday weekend on Friday, May 22, by releasing its 14^th Interim Final Rule (IFR) addressing loan forgiveness for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans.  This new IFR clarified certain issues while leaving others outstanding.  Today’s blog will focus on the clarifications so borrowers, many nearing the end of their 8-week Covered Period, can make decisions around what is known.

Many hoped the delay in guidance regarding Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness meant SBA and Treasury were taking their time coordinating an application and associated guidance to provide borrower’s clarity. Regrettably, on Friday evening, May 15, the SBA released the PPP Forgiveness Application with no additional guidance issued by the Treasury.  While we had a passing thought that maybe the
