If you have an SBA number from Dime you definitely won't get approved from Bluevine

As an independent contractor, my accountant recommended that I open a business checking account (I currently use a personal account for paycheck direct deposits)  and have PPP direct deposited into that account. I can then write myself biweekly checks from that account to my personal account (to provide proof for loan forgiveness).

Any recommendations for a business checking account that would work for this purpose? Chase? BOA? Also, while I'm an (unofficial) sole proprietorship, I don't have a business ID number or name aside from using my own name as the business name. Will banks allow me to sign up for a business account using my own name (perhaps followed by the words Sole Proprietorship) if I haven't registered that business name as a DBA?

In general it's a good idea to have separate accounts but have your accountant read the rules. Your forgiveness will be 8/52 of your Schedule C and not based on checks you cut.

I thought that too. He told me this morning that it will not be based on 8/52, and that checks can be written for the full loan (over the 8 weeks...). He said the schedule C 8/52 was for them to figure out the loan amount, but that once you do in fact get approved, you can use the full loan for payroll if you choose (for an independent contractor). I didn't think this was the case, but he was adamant.

Have him read these:

f. What amounts shall be eligible for forgiveness?
The amount of loan forgiveness can be up to the full principal amount of the loan plus accrued interest. The actual amount of loan forgiveness will depend, in part, on the total amount spent over the covered period on:
i. ....
ii. owner compensation replacement, calculated based on 2019 net profit as described in Paragraph 1.b. above, with forgiveness of such amounts limited to eight weeks’ worth (8/52) of 2019 net profit...

5. Will this loan be forgiven?
Borrowers are eligible to have some or all of their loan forgiven.

How much?
An amount equal to how much you spent in the eight weeks following receipt of the loan for:

Owner compensation replacement, but not to exceed eight weeks of your 2019 compensation up to $100,000 (8/52 of the 2019 net profit up to $100,000)

Based on these rules it seems that Sole Props/1099 are more likely to have a few dollars unforgivable that will need to be repaid, unlike W2 loans which seemingly will be able to get 100% forgiven more easily.

If they don't have rent and utilities.

Even if they do they'll probably need to return some, because that's capped at 25%.
If you're calculating 8/52 for Schedule C for forgiveness, but calculated 2.5/12 for loan, you'll have about 1% of your loan leftover that should go towards your 75% of payroll, but is capped and therefore can't be used.

The only way to get around this (I think) is if you have healthcare/other benefit costs that you can include in the 75% but is not part of the 8/52 cap.

Payroll costs including salary,
wages, and tips, up to $100,000 of
annualized pay per employee (for eight
weeks, a maximum of $15,385 per
individual), as well as covered benefits
for employees (but not owners),
including health care expenses,
retirement contributions, and state taxes
imposed on employee payroll paid by
the employer (such as unemployment
insurance premiums);

What will happen if Schedule C application changes now to W-2 income, will he be able to claim 100%?

Was wondering the same. 8/52 comes out to slightly less than 75% of the loan. If no rent, utilities, or healthcare costs associated with the business, how would one even get to 75%?

Would this also be for an S-corp owner who recieves a W2?
