NEW STIMULUS BILL MAY AFFECT YOUR TAX PLANNING
Tax deductibility for PPP expenses
The bill specifies that business expenses paid with forgiven PPP loans ARE tax-deductible. This supersedes IRS guidance that such expenses could not be deducted and brings the policy in line with what the AICPA and hundreds of other business associations have argued was Congress’s intent when it created the original PPP as part of the $2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, P.L. 116-136.
