But it's only for SE not owner's of S/C corporations
Ah missed that.
I'm 99% certain they're not eligible either because of the 50% relation rule.
Need to check section 51(i)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.

It definitely seems that only SE are excluded

2. Who is an Eligible Employer? (updated November 16, 2020)
Eligible Employers for the purposes of the Employee Retention Credit are employers that carry on a trade or business during calendar year 2020, including tax-exempt organizations, that either:

Fully or partially suspend operation during any calendar quarter in 2020 due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to COVID-19; or
Experience a significant decline in gross receipts during the calendar quarter.
Note: Governmental employers are not Eligible Employers for purposes of the Employee Retention Credit.  However, tribal governments and tribal entities may be Eligible Employers. See Are tribal governments and tribal entities eligible for the Employee Retention Credit? Also, self-employed individuals are not eligible for this credit for their own self-employment earnings, though they may be able to claim the credit for wages paid to their employees.

For more information, see Determining Which Employers are Eligible to Claim the Employee Retention Credit.

Income earned in box 3 of a 1099 Misc for the refer a friend programs, could be considered for the PPP or EIDL?
If it benefits even just one fellow DDFer, its worth posting it.

https://molentax.com/payroll-tax-deferral-employee-retention-credit-s-corps/#:~:text=And%20as%20you%20know%2C%20the,Employee%20retention%20credit

The father or mother, or an ancestor of either
A stepfather or stepmother
A son or daughter of a brother or sister of the taxpayer
A brother or sister of the father or mother of the taxpayer
A son-in-law, daughter-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law
The provision does not prevent the S corporation owner from taking the employee retention credit on his or her wages, provided that the S corporation otherwise meets one of the following requirements

For Second-Draw loans you can also use a 25% reduction in gross receipts in 2020 as compared to 2019, if applicable (instead of making quarterly cheshbonos)

For a second-draw loan for self employed, private contractors etc; does it work per business? or per individual?

For instance, if the individual owns 2 businesses. Business "A" made more in 2020 than in 2019, (So is ineligible) but business "B" made less in 2020 than in 2019. Can one take a 2nd PPP for business "B", even though when all his personal income is calculated together, he/she made more in 2020?

Also, what would be the benefit of calculating from 2020 income vs 2019?

Also, does the 25% reduction in income work per quarter or annually? Let's say in Q1 it was 25% less, but annually it wasn't a 25% reduction. Or maybe annually the business made more than the previous year, but in Q1 it was 25% less, would they qualify for Second-Draw?

Still trying to understand it myself, but does this make sense to you:
Gross receipts of a borrower with affiliates are calculated by adding the gross receipts of the business concern with the gross receipts of each affiliate.

Also, what would be the benefit of calculating from 2020 income vs 2019?
If your payroll was higher? Could still be SE relevant because you could have earned more in prior quarters, but then had a reduction of 25% in just a single quarter (might call into question that the "economic uncertainty makes this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations")

Also, does the 25% reduction in income work per quarter or annually? Let's say in Q1 it was 25% less, but annually it wasn't a 25% reduction. Or maybe annually the business made more than the previous year, but in Q1 it was 25% less, would they qualify for Second-Draw?
According to the rules you can calculate using either, and yes you'd qualify based on a single quarter (again, might call into question that the "economic uncertainty makes this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations")

Honestly, the way these things are written, it always makes my head spin. Hard for me to decipher what they mean.

Thanks for the response!

While were on the topic... If a Self Employed took out a PPP loan, first round, and then the business ended up making more in gross sales and profits in 2020 than in 2019, is one still eligible for forgiveness?

Possible that this only refers to an entity that owns multiple entities, not to an individual. Seeking clarity as we speak, so best not to make assumptions yet...

Forgiveness?? 100%!
The only time you had to have done worse than before is for the Second Draw loan. For the loan itself as long as you were uncertain due to the current situation you're fine- it doesn't turn into a loan just because it's now clear that there was no reason to worry back then.

Basically, if you were eligible for your PPP loan when you got it, and spend the money on eligible expenses, it doesn’t matter how much money you earned after you were approved for the loan.

This actually makes sense. The point of the loan is to support (payroll-paying) businesses by alleviating some of their payroll burden. If it helps your business survive and thrive, then it served its intended purpose.

Does this mean you finalized and partnered with a lender? Can you provide a link?

I’m sure you’ll know about it when it happens and the lender is accepting applications :P

That post means there was guidance issued.

Yes, but as per forum rules I can't share- in fact this conversation in itself might be a violation of the rules :o.

There's an old story told, supposedly about the original Baron Wissotzky, who founded the tea company.

They say that he was a tremendous ba'al chesed who gave thousands of rubles to tzedakah. He would always have guests in his house and would serve them the most lavish of meals. However, he never served his guests tea.

He would say (perhaps rightly, or perhaps wrongly) - "Tea is my parnassah, and you don't mix parnassah and tzedakah."

Was there guidance released today by sba regarding ppp and eidl?
Is there a link to the guidance?
