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:

Stop looking, you’ve found the company to help you with your tax problems. I was bombarded with letters with all the same BS. Heartland gets right to the point. They speak human. Personable and responsible. The attorney I worked with and his staff were professional and knowledgeable. The whole staff tremendously calmed and settled my nerves. Heartland Group will help you, hands down.
They were very instrumental in providing a great deal of information and direction with my tax situation. They were extremely responsive and very informative about handling my tax situation. They were up on the latest legislative changes that helped to benefit me and my family. I appreciate their help.
I would like to share my positive experience with The Heartland Group. From the moment Zane called to make me aware of the recent IRS Lien filing and how he can help all the way through the steps need to get a positive resolution with the IRS. The quoted fees by Zane were fare and better than quotes from 2 other groups I reached out to. Zane’s team also provided a very positive and professional experience including John which was my primary contact. They were quick to react to the IRS’s multiple requests and help during a very stressful time.
Great honest service; felt like a person – not a profit center.
