State Guidance of Taxability of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loans - As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses applied for and received forgivable PPP Loans. The CARES Act provides that any amount forgiven under the terms of the Act will not be included in gross income for federal purposes. But this provision was codified in the Small Business Act rather than the Internal Revenue Code, making its application to the states uncertain. The following link provides access to a spreadsheet that lists information provided by certain states that have provided guidance as to whether the states will be treating the proceeds from the PPP loans, and their forgiveness, as gross income. It also provides information from those states that have addressed the same question with regard to the Emergency Advance feature of the Economic Injury Disaster Loan, another federal program set up to aid small businesses through the pandemic.
