Reporting a forgiven PPP Loan

Anonymous — Sat, 09 Jan 2021 14:19:30 GMT

Since income from a forgiven PPP loan is not taxable and expenses paid with the funds are still deductible, do I not report it as income in TurboTax? In Quickbooks I have entered it as other income "PPP Loan Forgiveness".

Thanks.

pkhofman, did you get an answer to your question? I'm trying to figure out our company taxes and don't know what to do with the forgiven ppp loan.

Are you are reporting the forgiven PPP loan as non-taxable interest? What form are you filing?

In TurboTax Business for an 1120S:

Under Your Income, Investment Income, click Start / Update to the right of Interest and dividend income?
At the screen, Tax-Exempt Interest, enter the forgiven PPP loan.
The K-1 and M1 / M2 calculations should report correctly.

In TurboTax Business for a 1065:

Under Your Income, Investment Income, click Start / Update to the right of Interest and dividend income?
At the screen, Tax-Exempt Interest, enter the forgiven PPP loan.
The K-1 and M1 / M2 calculations should report correctly.

Any answers? Im filing as a 1099 independent contractor. My loan forgiveness is still pending but it was under the $150,000 threshold. I cant find an answer anywhere saying if I can or can't file my taxes...

You don't have to report it if it's still pending. Loan itself isn't income; however the forgiven part could be a taxable income for you. Until you receive the final form from your financial institution there is nothing to report.
