Webinar: Tax Implications of PPP Loans

The CARES Act stated that forgiveness of a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan would be considered tax-exempt income, but it failed to address the impact of the associated expenses paid.

On November 18, 2020, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued Revenue Ruling 2020-27 which provides needed clarity on a taxpayers’ ability to deduct eligible expenses for PPP loan forgiveness.

Watch Aprio’s expert panelists from December 17, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. ET as they discuss the latest updates from the IRS.

Aprio’s PPP loan expert panelists include:
