Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans for corporations
Proceeds
Forgiven PPP loan proceeds are excluded from taxable income and are treated as tax-exempt income. For S-Corporations, the forgiven PPP loan proceeds increase the shareholder's basis in the S-Corporation stock and increase the Other Adjustments Account (OAA).
Expenses
Eligible expenses paid with forgiven PPP loan proceeds are fully deductible. For S-Corporations, expenses paid with forgiven PPP loan proceeds shouldn't reduce the Accumulated Adjustments Account (AAA). These expenses instead reduce the OAA.
Additional reporting statement
The 2021 Form 1120 and Form 1120-S instructions require additional reporting for corporations that have tax-exempt income resulting from the forgiveness of a PPP loan. The following information must be included in a statement with the tax return:
- The corporation’s name, address, and EIN.
- A statement that the corporation is applying or applied section 3.01(1), (2), or (3) of Rev. Proc. 2021-48 as applicable.
- The amount of tax-exempt income from forgiveness of the PPP loan the corporation is treating as received or accrued.
- Whether forgiveness of the PPP loan has been granted as of the date the return is filed.
