The Payment Protection Program applies to all small businesses. This includes:
The only condition is that your business has been in operation as of February 15, 2020. Your business is not eligible for the program if the business began after that date.
The salary of self-employed people who have no employees report income by Schedule C is calculated by net profit. Find the amount on either the 2019 tax report on line 31 of Schedule C or on the Net Profit line on the most recent income statement. To calculate the total monthly payroll costs, divide this annual net income statistic by 12. Note: When the taxable net profit reaches $100,000, divide $100,000 by 12. To calculate the size of your PPP loan, multiply the resulting number by 2.5. (Please check with your PPP Bank Partner/SBA Guidelines to confirm exact amount).
The Small Business Administration stated that the cost of an individual contractor is not part of the contracting company’s payroll costs.
Independent contractors must submit a separate application. Following the steps above, take the income recorded in Schedule C and 1099-MISC and calculate the salary and loan amount. Include the net salary (income after expenses).
S-Corporation owners who earn a fair wage from payroll must assess the loan amount at 2.5 times their regular monthly W-2 income. Here are two important points to keep in mind:

You can also offer bank statements should you have an inability to view certain kinds of information.
The entire staff at the Heartland Group were great. They helped me work with IRS and State of Colorado resolve my tax issues very quickly while providing me the support and protection that my family and I needed. Highly recommend them to anyone who may be facing similar issues.
Kenneth M This year after an IRS Revenue Officer made a scary visit to my house, it seemed like I became the most sought after potential tax client in America. It was nerve wrecking wondering how I was either come up with almost $400,000 to satisfy the IRS or loose everything. Everyday mail poured into the house from companies across the country and constant phone calls all day long! One company assured me that I needed to work with them…why?.. because everybody does and ALL of their clients are happy. They assured me they would work out an easy payment
Jessica and the whole team has been such a pleasure to work with and has helped me out immensely!!!
Words cannot begin to describe how great Heartland Tax Solutions was for me. Having just come off a bad experience with another group, these folks came to my rescue. The professionalism, communication, and dedication to resolving my case with the IRS exceeded even the most extreme expectations anyone could consider. George and Katherine were phenomenal start to finish, and my resolution was better than I could have ever imagined. I highly recommend Heartland over and above the rest because I have experienced others with very poor service. I plan to continue to work with Heartland, and I would strongly recommend
