jj the cpa here hope you're doing well
[3]
so i'm a practicing cpa
[4]
so on the returns that i'm preparing i'm
[7]
coming across still questions from
[8]
clients i'm noting some in the comments
[11]
related to
[12]
how does it work for tax purposes when
[14]
we're talking about the eidl grant
[18]
and the ppp loan forgiveness
[21]
so the good news is that these don't
[23]
affect your taxes as in
[25]
they do not reduce down your deductions
[28]
so on schedule c or schedule f there's
[31]
nowhere to indicate this because it has
[34]
no effect on your taxes there's
[36]
literally nowhere that you report this
[39]
on your individual
[41]
or sole proprietor or schedule f tax
[43]
return you don't indicate your eidl
[47]
grant or your ppp loan forgiveness
[49]
there's just nowhere to report it
[51]
because it has no tax effect it's tax
[53]
exempt income that's reported nowhere
[55]
else
[56]
and it doesn't reduce down your
[58]
deduction so great news on that now if
[61]
you're filing a uh s corp or c corp or
[64]
partnership return so if you're finding
[65]
1120s or 1120 or a 1065
[69]
you do not report this as income you do
[71]
not report it as a reduction of your
[74]
deductions
[76]
but what you are reporting it is as
[78]
tax-exempt income tax-exempt income and
[83]
so not to get too far into the weeds but
[86]
when you're talking about the tax-exempt
[88]
income for the eidl grant as well as the
[91]
ppp
[92]
when you're reporting this tax-exempt
[94]
income and i'm going to give you a link
[96]
right now to the irs website that will
[100]
give you a link to these instructions
[102]
and what you're going to see here
[105]
and i'm just going to get specific so if
[106]
you're filing a schedule c or schedule f
[108]
you don't have to keep
[110]
listening to the video if you're filing
[111]
an s corp partnership or c corp
[114]
then i'm going to walk through this
[116]
quickly
[117]
with you in terms of where you
[119]
will see this as reported and if you're
[121]
not the one that's preparing the return
[123]
this will at least help you know that it
[125]
got on the return correctly because you
[126]
have to remember the tax return is your
[129]
responsibility just because you hire a
[131]
preparer doesn't change your
[133]
responsibility to ensure that it's all
[134]
on there correctly but the reason you
[136]
want to ensure it's on there correctly
[138]
is so that it will
[140]
in fact increase your basis or properly
[144]
be reflected as a part of retained
[146]
earnings depending on which filing
[148]
status here
[150]
because when you spent the money
[153]
you took deductions and that reduced
[155]
down your tax basis you want to ensure
[158]
that your tax basis is restored so it's
[160]
going to be an even some game it's not
[162]
going to overall give you an increase to
[164]
your basis more than what you spent but
[167]
you definitely want to ensure that your
[168]
tax basis is correct because tax basis
[171]
is important when it comes to being able
[173]
to deduct losses
[175]
if and when you sell your business your
[177]
basis is what determines in essence what
[179]
your gain is because it's part of your
[181]
basis
[182]
so if you're filing
[185]
a form 1120s
[188]
then you're going to see if you're not a
[190]
preparer here's where you will see it
[192]
and should see it
[194]
you should see on schedule k of the
[196]
1120s so all you got to do is keep
[198]
flipping and you're going to see a
[200]
schedule k and then you're going to see
[201]
a column of numbers but it should be on
[204]
line 16 b is in boy you'll see the
[207]
amount of ppp loan forgiveness and that
[209]
will be on the line item that's tax
[211]
exempt income
[212]
also on the schedule k1 so that is what
[215]
then goes to
[217]
the owner of the s corp you will see it
[220]
on the schedule k1 also 16 b
[224]
that up then is the tax-exempt income
[226]
and as it gets reported on the
[228]
individual return it's just an increase
[230]
to the basis you're not going to see it
[231]
anywhere on the individual form 1040.
[235]
then you're also going to see on the
[236]
1120s
[238]
on page five there's a schedule m1 it's
[240]
right there in the middle it says
[241]
schedule m1 and it should be on line 5a
[245]
that will allow it to be in essence a
[248]
part of accounting for it
[250]
also in the reconciliation from taxable
[253]
income to book income and it then should
[255]
also be in your aaa account which is
[258]
down below on page five of the 1120s and
[262]
if you have a preparer there's nothing
[263]
wrong with just asking about it but this
[265]
is a way you would know it's done
[267]
and that you're getting the increase
[269]
into the basis now on form 1065
[272]
you would also see on schedule k as well
[275]
as schedule k1 it's on line 18 b as in
[278]
boy
[279]
you'll also see it on schedule m1 which
[282]
is line 6a and then you should see it
[285]
reflected in the schedule m2 those
[287]
amounts will all be the same
[289]
on the 1120 i spent some time on this
[292]
and if you are reporting it
[295]
on your financials to arrive at book
[297]
income so this is for a c corp 1120
[300]
which most of people are not filing a
[302]
form 1120
[304]
but
[304]
you will not see it anywhere on the
[306]
return other than in the reconciliation
[309]
from taxable income to book income
[311]
assuming that you recorded it on your
[314]
uh financials internally or for
[316]
management purposes
[317]
but it'll be on line seven which is in
[320]
essence where that is income that is not
[323]
taxed also then you will see it
[326]
on schedule
[327]
or in schedule m2 as well now i'm also
[331]
going to give you
[333]
the notice
[335]
that
[336]
indicates or revenue procedure that
[338]
indicates the rules related to this so
[340]
revenue procedure 21-48
[343]
which gives you three options of the
[344]
timing of when to actually account for
[347]
this tax-exempt income at the
[348]
forgiveness which you have three options
[351]
one is that you account for this when
[354]
it's been spent or accrued which is
[356]
probably the best bet
[358]
or you can account for the tax-exempt
[360]
income in the year that you file for ppp
[362]
loan forgiveness or you can report it in
[366]
the year in which ppp loan forgiveness
[368]
is actually
[370]
achieved that it's been forgiven
[372]
so the reason that really with every
[374]
client i'm working with we're just
[376]
accounting for the ppp loan forgiveness
[378]
is tax-exempt income in the year in
[381]
which the ppp was spent
[383]
is because that is the year in essence
[386]
that tax basis was reduced
[388]
so if there's been basis reduced due to
[391]
the expenses then i want that client's
[394]
basis to be increased
[396]
because of the tax-exempt income being
[398]
then reported in the same year
[400]
the only way that i could see that
[401]
somebody would want to report it in a
[404]
later year either in the year that it is
[407]
filed for forgiveness or forgiveness was
[409]
received is if for some reason they
[411]
didn't want the
[413]
client to take advantage of losses in
[415]
that current year because then they
[417]
wouldn't have enough basis you don't
[419]
even have to really understand that
[420]
because that'd be a rare rare
[421]
circumstance that you would want in
[424]
essence a loss to be carried over to the
[426]
next year with not enough tax basis and
[429]
then having the basis increased in the
[431]
following year to take advantage of the
[433]
loss in the next year what i'm telling
[434]
you is that might be less than one
[436]
percent that would want to try and do
[438]
some kind of strategy related to that
[440]
but it is allowed that's revenue
[441]
procedure 21-48 i'm going to give you a
[443]
link to that
[444]
also then there's revenue procedure
[447]
21-49 that addresses partnerships
[450]
and then 21-50 that addresses those that
[453]
are filing partnerships under the
[455]
centralized partnership audit regime
[458]
that's allowing them to amend the k1
[460]
to reflect this if they want to make a
[462]
change go back and make a change so
[465]
typically for most you're dealing with
[467]
revenue procedure 21-48
[470]
now the thing about it is and i'm glad
[472]
you stayed till here is that you are to
[475]
attach a statement to the tax return
[478]
that indicates that according to
[480]
notice 21-48
[483]
here is how
[484]
that business is then accounting for the
[487]
ppp loan forgiveness as tax-exempt
[490]
income and so if you're using software
[493]
at least the one i'm using which is
[494]
drake
[495]
where i go to enter in the tax-exempt
[497]
income there's another little input
[499]
screen right next to it says ppp i click
[502]
on that and then it allows me to check
[504]
the box that i do want this statement
[506]
added to the tax return
[507]
indicating what i'm electing for it to
[510]
do
[511]
which is for me it would be then
[513]
electing for it to be in the year that
[514]
it was expended
[516]
so with that being said
[518]
uh hopefully this helps you out related
[520]
to that and overall again no tax effect
[524]
for eidl or the ppp
[527]
and then as it relates to accounting for
[529]
these things it's as the tax-exempt
[531]
income and then for schedule c and
[533]
schedule f you don't have to worry about
[535]
any of these things all right hey thanks
[538]
for tuning in i'd love it if you'd
[539]
