Tax Implications of COVID-19 Small Business Assistance Loans
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 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 Services of Draper is here to help. Our team of professional tax preparers in Draper works closely with EAs to ensure the most accurate understanding of tax code and annual implications. We can help you understand how any COVID-19 relief funds will impact your taxes and prepare an accurate return. Additionally, we will ensure you are taking every possible deductible to minimize your total amount owed. Every penny counts, especially in a time of economic hardship. The Paramount Tax team is here to help you!
Tax Implications of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) for Small Businesses Tax Services in Draper
As the tumultuous year of 2020 comes to an end, many small business owners are left wondering what their tax returns will look like. The unpredictable economic damage caused by the COVID-19 led to the passing of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Through the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, this act allotted up to $349 billion in forgivable loans to small businesses for payroll assistance and certain other expenses. If your business applied for a PPP loan, you may be wondering about the tax implications.
While loan forgiveness was promised for PPP loans (if at least 60% was used to cover payroll), expenses paid with forgiven PPP loan proceeds are not deductible. That means that expenses that are typically deductible, like utilities and rent, will not be deductible if you used the loan funds to cover them.
PPP loan forgiveness is possible if loan proceeds were used to cover the following expenses:
Payroll costs and employee retention
Interest payments on covered mortgage obligations
Payments for covered rent obligations - Under this covered expense, "lease agreements for real or personal property" is included, which covers equipment and vehicles.
Certain utility payments
If you are trying to manage PPP loan expenses as you prepare your taxes, Paramount Tax is the accounantbookkeeper in Draper that you can rely on.

Jensen was phenomenal! Her knowledge in taxes exceptional. Readily answered all questions, listened intently, guided me through the complex tax issues I am facing. Treated me with understanding and respect. I went into her office carrying a huge emotional burden and ignorance on how to navigate my tax complexities. She...

I was very impressed with Josh. He knows the tax laws and he was great at explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand. Five stars, for sure.
Dave and the rest of the team at Paramount are of the highest caliber. From thinking outside the box, to ensuring the highest level of attention to detail, Paramount is a top tier accounting firm!
Best tax experience ever (that's saying a lot)! It's true that TurboTax seems convenient and free, and H&R block seems legit, but it's worth the small fee to come here (way cheaper than H&R block btw), and have an actual CPA look at your taxes and add $$ to your return. Plus, included in their service is 100% audit pro...

After years of working with an agent at Paramount Tax (and a horrific experience), I came back to the main offices for a last hurrah before looking elsewhere. Paramount as a whole had been good to me and my business, but that last experience with Christy was terrible.
My wife and I (and partner on the phone) were tre...
Brian is the most precise person I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. He will go above and beyond to get you the most out of your taxes. An absolute gem to work with too.

Excellent and professional tax services. Cannot recommend them highly enough. I had a tax question mid year and met with them for over an hour discussing a potential purchase. There was no charge and they helped me make the best choice financially.

For reference, my name is Zach Deckard and I had Brian Baity assisting me with my taxes.
I must say that he was very friendly and pleasant to work with! I truly feel like I got my maximum return for the first time. So much so, that I'm going to go re-file my previous year's taxes to see what was inevitably missed.

Thanks to Brenda William, for helping me and my family trade, I got my withdrawal (cash out) yesterday. You're the best trader I've ever experience myself. After many times of been defrauded of my funds, i finally get to cash out. She's legit, reliable and experience. I invested $500 to earn $5,800... Easier than I tho...
I have been using this group for years. They are very quick, know what they are doing and I've never been disappointed. Things have always turned out much better than I was anticipating at tax time since using them. I'm a customer for life. Dave and his group are outstanding. I highly recommend giving them a try.

I was impressed with the personable, yet professional and proficient way he got the job done .
