COVID TAX RELIEF UPDATES

The EIDL grant monies, which issued advanced loans not subject to repayment, was discontinued on July 11, 2020 as the funds allocated to the grant program have been fully distributed.

Any loan over $25,000 requires collateral and any loan under $200,000 does not require a personal guarantee.

This includes rent, utilities, payroll, supplies, inventory, and other general and administrative expenses. It is not to replace long term debt or for new asset purchases. Covid tax relief updates.

The Paycheck Protection Plan loans was modified with the Paycheck Protection Plan Flexibility Act, which was signed into law on June 5, 2020 offering the following revisions: Extends the loan forgiveness covered period from 8 weeks to 24 weeks. A loan recipient that received funds prior to the date of enactment may elect to keep their 8 week covered period. Allows deferral of employer's portion of Social Security tax for PPP loan of Social Security tax for PPP loan recipients through December 31, 2020. Previously the deferral would have ended once the PPP loan had been forgiven by the lender. Extends the June 30, 2020 safe harbor dare for workforce and salary/wage reductions to December 31, 2020.
