SBA / US Treasury Guidance – update – PPP Loans
We are still waiting for the guidance on, what are the rules on how to properly spend your PPP funds? As soon as they are released, we will summarize them for you.
Accounting for your PPP Loan Proceeds – in QuickBooks / Peachtree / MYOB
We at Schiff have come up with a procedure to account for the PPP funds used for qualified expenses.
How to account for your PPP loan funds in your accounting software?
- Setup new General Ledger liability account – PPP loan payable – code your deposit of funds to this account—- Entry for initial deposit is Debit Cash, Credit PPP loan payable
- Code all disbursements to this PPP Loan Payable account —-(Entry for each PPP payment is Debit PPP loan payable, Credit Cash)
- Payroll – Gross wages for each employee and SUTA tax (FICA and FUTA should be coded to Payroll tax expense account) , please recall that if an Associate is on Payroll, their Payroll is limited to $1,923 a week.
- For Sole member LLC (Schedule C) – Draws – Code $1,923 per week for owner , Debit the PPP Loan Payable, Credit Cash
- Health insurance – employees only – charged against the PPP Loan Payable as a Debit, Credit Cash
- 401k match for employees only if you have been funding the match per payroll – charge to the PPP Loan Payable as a Debit , Credit Cash
- Rent or Interest on Mortgage – Please charge these disbursements against the PPP Loan Payable Account as a Debit, Credit Cash . Please make sure you have a copy of your current lease
- Utilities – Please charge these disbursements against the PPP Loan Payable Account as a Debit, Credit Cash – Utilities include >> Gas & electric, water, internet access and telephoneWhen the PPP loan account zeros out, you have spent all PPP funds. The gross wages, staff health, 401k match & SUTA paid from this PPP loan account should total to 75% or greater than the original PPP loan amount. When the account is zero you should return to your regular accounting entries.
- Keep copies of invoices and/or cancelled check in a separate folder so we can render an “accounting” to the bank at the end of the 8-week period.
