Tax Season
It's that wonderful time of year again! As you get your taxes together, keep in mind that there were quite a few tax credits that you may be eligible for due to COVID and government programs. It will be worth the investment in hiring a CPA this year. Check out our membership page for a local CPA.
Applications are coming in slowly
Did you have any quarter in 2020 that was 25% lower in revenue than 2019? If so, you qualify for a PPP loan.

The amount can be 2.5x's your average monthly salaries from 2019, or 3.5 if you are a restaurant or venue. Most, if not all, of the loans under $150,000 will be forgiven! Find an SBA Lender and apply!
With a second round of Paycheck Protection Program loans officially on its way – this renewed PPP2 program is part of a $900 billion pandemic relief provision signed into law by President Trump on Dec. 27 – businesses and organizations are eager to know if, when, and how this assistance could help their operations.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that it plans to begin a tiered opening for round 2 of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) the week of Jan. 11.

SBA also released guidance to lenders outlining the process by which an existing borrower under the first PPP could basically reapply for a higher amount first-draw than was initially approved if the borrower fully repaid the loan before Dec. 27 and no forgiveness payments have been made to the lender on that loan.
