The coronavirus pandemic has shaken the world in unprecedented ways, particularly economically. In order to prevent total economic crumble, the president signed the CARES Act into law on Friday, March 27, 2020. This act set aside $376 billion to help workers and small businesses in Columbia / Ellicott City and all of the United States keep their jobs and businesses open. These funds were approved for borrowing from the U.S. Small Business Administration in four new programs:
- Payment Protection Program (PPP)
- Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL)
- Express Loans
- SBA Debt Relief
Each loan program has different requirements and terms. As the end of the year nears, many business owners that participated in one of these loan programs are wondering what the tax implications will be. While some of these loans are forgivable, the expenses that are paid for with loan funds are not tax deductible. This means that business owners who accepted a loan could face much higher tax payments than usual. As the pandemic has continued, additional orders were signed that have impacted payroll taxes and more.
Understanding all of these implications as you prepare your taxes for this year can be overwhelming. Paramount Tax of Columbia / Ellicott City is here to help. Our team of professional tax preparers in Columbia / Ellicott City works closely with CPAs to ensure the most accurate understanding of tax code and annual implications.
