1120s PPP recording

Do you have any Idea how to report a payroll protection  program loan oan that is in process of being forgiven from 2020, also I took a economic injury disaster loan advance advance? Many conflicting answer's here. Some people say just count as usual income and file like always, some say don't report but that throws the balance sheet way off. My business is small so I am not required to file a balance sheet ! please help! I just would like to know how to enter it in my Turbo tax business software so I could get my taxes done

Thanks

    You report the forgiven PPP loan and EIDL advance/grant as non-taxable income.  In TurboTax Business for an 1120S member:  

    • Across the top of the screen, click on Federal Taxes
    • Click on Balance Sheet.
    • Enter Total Year-end assets.  Click Continue.
    • Click No, I want to complete my balance sheet.  Click Continue.
    • Under Your reconciliations and balance sheet, click on Edit to the right of Income reconciliation.
    • Click No, I’ll enter a different book income.  Click Continue.
    • If non-taxable PPP loan is $10,000, taxable income for the year is $59,000, so book income must now be $69,000.  Click Continue.
    • At Your reconciliations and balance sheet, make sure all three schedules are in balance.
    • Click on Forms mode. 
    • Click on M-1 Worksheet.  The forgiven PPP loan will be listed under Permanent Items (tax-exempt income).
    • Click on a K-1.  The forgiven PPP loan will be listed under line 16 code B.

    See also Instructions for IRS Form 1120S page 35.  States vary on their treatment.

     

    Some are choosing not to report these items as tax exempt income at this time and may elect to amend at a later time.

     

    Regardless of the IRS requirements, most tax software will require you to 'balance' the balance sheet, income statement, M1 and M2 before the tax return can be e-filed.  Some have chosen not to 'balance' and mail the forms to the IRS.

     

    This article states:

     

    The Consolidated Appropriations Act also provides that taxable income does not include EIDL grants or certain loan repayment assistance.

    Thanks for your response it was the best one I received so far . I think I am going to take the easy way out and just claim the PPP  loan and the EIDL grant as taxable income you said many people are doing that correct? Should I just include it in my receipts total or other income

    Just report each separately under Enter your own categories as grant income.

     

    In most instances, grant funds are counted as taxable income on your federal tax return. This means that you will be required to pay taxes on these funds.
