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 Las Vegas is here to help. Our team of professional tax preparers in Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas
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

My first meeting with John was to fix the mistakes in my S/S taxes that my last accountant made, I have been coming here since.
John has given me the personalized help that I need for my personal and business taxes that I have not gotten before. It has been a pleasure working with John.
I’m big on reviews and when I read about paramount taxes thought I give John a go. It was sensitive talk for me considering I was filing taxes for my father who past away. John was very understanding, patient and helped guide me through this process. Thank you John for services I’ll be coming back to you next year.
Jon was so helpful and patient. I came in there completely lost and left feeling so much clarity on my taxes for not just previous years but also how to handle them better for years to come. I tried filing my own small business taxes on TurboTax last year and completely messed everything up, but Jon helped me clean up ...
John is fantastic! I highly recommend him. He's efficient and precise. He answered all of my questions extremely well in a way I could understand. Taxes are usually such a hassle and a dread, but I have walked out of that office feeling relieved again.
Excellent service. They are Knowledgeable, professional and caring! I mean it’s nice to see your accountants spend hours working on your taxes to save you money. Highly recommended

I filed (late) my taxes with John and he was very patient and accommodating to my busy schedule. The process was easy and all communication was done through phone, text and email. Would definitely recommend him if you need your taxes done.
