IRS issues guidance on deductibility of forgivable PPP expenses

By

On November 20, 2020

In Federal, Financial Resources

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), a provision in the CARES Act, provides forgivable loans for businesses impacted by the devastating financial impact of the COVID19 epidemic.  Under Section 1106(b) of the CARES Act, these covered loans are eligible for full forgiveness if certain criteria are met.
