More PPP Guidance Released

There’s more government guidance for businesses considering applying for their first or second round of Paycheck Protection Program loans.

The Small Business Administration and Department of Treasury recently released some Q&As to help businesses:

• Calculate their revenue reduction and payroll costs and
• Determine the “relevant documentation that [is] required to support each set of calculations.”

Those applying for a first PPP loan can see the new guidance here, and those applying for a second round can see the new guidance here.

Among the questions the new guidance answers:

• What are gross receipts for the purpose of determining eligibility for a second PPP loan?
• What documentation is required to prove a business sustained at least a 25 percent reduction in gross receipts.
• How those who are self-employed either with no employees or with employees calculate their maximum first-draw or second-draw PPP amounts.
• What documentation farmers and ranchers need.
• How partnerships apply for their first or second PPP loan.
• How do S and C corps determine their max loan amounts.
• How eligible nonprofits apply for their first-draw or second-draw PPP loan.
• Which instructions apply to LLCs.
• Which pre-tax employee contributions for fringe benefits have been excluded from IRS Form 941.
