Yes. The Payroll Protection Program (PPP) is a tremendous help to businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
As you may have discovered for yourself, it’s great to see PPP money flowing into your bank account.
What’s not so great are IRS loan-forgiveness rules that, frankly, are very unfair.
We’ll give you all the details when you read the full article titled Tax Tips: Raise Hell: Help Lawmakers Make PPP Expenses Tax Deductible.
Three ways our fact-filled article can help you:

- You’ll learn why lawmakers need to act. And how you can get them moving. The simple truth is that lawmakers fumbled the ball. They passed a very imperfect law and didn’t grasp its problematic implications. Well, at least highly placed lawmakers now are on the verge of fixing the problems. But you can really help Congress to act promptly if you raise your voice. We’ll tell you exactly how to make your feelings known when you read the full article.
