This program will cover a critical topic that every practitioner must know about immediately: new IRS rules, applicable to tax year 2020, relating to PPP borrowers who are also eligible for the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC). These new rules are contained in IRS Notice 2021-20, which is over 100 pages in length and addresses many of the questions tax practitioners have regarding the interaction between PPP loan forgiveness and the ERTC. This program will cover helpful examples and FAQs that address many situations we simply did not understand until the IRS issued this Notice.
