PPP loan forgiveness

I can share some information about the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness, @robinz46.

You can apply for a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness if certain requirements are met. The PPP offers government-backed, forgivable loans to eligible businesses and organizations. 

Here’s guidance from SBA and Treasury and the related Instructions for Borrowers to confirm current program rules.

You can send the loan application within QuickBooks Capital. However, you can also apply for a PPP loan through an approved SBA lender outside of QuickBooks Capital. 

To know more about this, check this article: Use reports to apply for a Paycheck Protection Program loan.

To start your loan application within QuickBooks Capital, make sure to get the latest update for QuickBooks Desktop.

Then, proceed to the steps outlines to this article on how to apply for the loan within QuickBooks Capital: Start your application for a Paycheck Protection Program loan within QuickBooks Capital.

Also, you can check these links if you have any more questions about the CARES Act:

• Paycheck Protection Program Information Sheet
• Coronavirus tax relief

This answer doesn't answer the question.  The question was more...if we applied for a loan via QuickBooks Capital, how do we then apply for the forgiveness through QuickBooks Capital?  It was so easy to get the loan through QB.  Why isn't there a link that pops up to fill out the forgiveness app?  Or do we need to go outside of QuickBooks to apply for the forgiveness?

Hi @Robin7510,

Allow me to clear things up for you. 

At this time, the option to apply for the PPP Loan Forgiveness is unavailable within QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). You can refer to this online PDF file that has the instructions on what you need to do so you can proceed: Loan Forgiveness Application Instructions. 

I also suggest you see this article: Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness. It provides insights on how to utilize the PPP funds so you can maximize the loan forgiveness.

Hi Ryan, 

So I have filled out my loan forgiveness - how do I submit it.    I applied through quickbooks capital but how to I now submit the loan forgiveness app?

Thanks for informing us in advanced that you applied the loan through QuickBooks Capital, ctrconcretecontractor.

I can see that you've also asked the same question in a separate thread about submitting the PPP loan forgiveness application.

Let me share the link with you to get the details provided by one of the QuickBooks Team members: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/ffcra-and-cares-acts-including-the-ppp/re-ppp-loan....

What am I missing - The SBA will only received the PPPLoan "Forgiveness" Applications from the Lenders.  Why hasn't Intuit Financing started accepting the Forgiveness Applications.  Especially for the 1st wave of borrowers.  This is crazy.  Any thoughts on this?

Hello, TMB2020. 

As mention above, you can submit the application loan within QuickBooks Capital, and also you can apply for a PPP loan through an approved SBA lender outside of QuickBooks Capital.  

With that said, to learn more about the guidelines from SBA and Treasury and the detailed Instructions for Borrowers to verify the present scheme rules. 

For more details about this one, check out the Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness article.

Let me know if there's anything you need more clarification about PPP Loan forgiveness in QuickBooks. I'm just one post away. Have a great day, and stay safe!

QUickbooks Capitol needs to respond to the questions being asked, the weekly update of "its october 12th, now, we still do not have a solution, just wait" (and accrue interest)  is quiet insufficient.

Comments saying send to SBA are incorrect.  The forgiveness application is to go to the Lender or the entity processing the loan (eg QuickBooks Capitol in their customer's case)

It seems we should be able to file the OMB form directly then . And as a lender QuickBooks Capitol has to have published contact info.

From QuickBooks own site: You have 10 months from the end of your loan forgiveness covered period, or from December 31, 2020 (whichever comes first), to apply for forgiveness. Once you submit your application for forgiveness, your lender has 60 days to accept or deny your application.

SO maybe we should all just mail off to their physical address? (from QuickBooks capitol legal page)

There has been a lot of getting the run around here. Basically QuickBooks Capital, please direct to us where we should be filing the documentation needed for loan forgiveness. I use QBO and references have been to the Desktop version only. Where and when can we get the necessary information???

Hi there, @kpbrebner.

Here's how to get a hold of our Live Chat support within your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account:

Let me know if there's anything else you need to know, @kpbrebner. The Community Team is always around here for you. 

I echo the others here, why is quickbooks giving their clients the run around. Weekly they update their site with "stay tuned for further updates". Tomorrow is the last day the current SBA form EZ for PPP forgiveness is valid. I intend to submit to QBC as my lender via email (which is on your loan documents BTW) as is your SBA # and loan application #. IF and when they (QB) get their long promised application working for us to submit, fine I will submit  but I am not going to hang on edge. This is ridiculous. Does anyone in the first "wave" of PPP have any experience? I tried to chat with their on line chat and this is all I was able to get, basically implying they are waiting on the SBA (ie the story keeps changing). Not very trust inducing.

HM of QB at 17:13, Nov 28:

As of right now we do not have an application for forgiveness just yet, we have them covered for the time after the week period, no worries you will not be "charged" or "penalized for and fees or anything of that manor, we ask that they please hang tight while we work to get them an application that is as smooth and customer friendly as possible.

HM of QB at 17:14, Nov 28:

We are waiting for the SBA signal to process the 2nd wave of loan forgiveness in QB.

HM of QB at 17:14, Nov 28:

The application will be available in-product and will populate the needed information just like the initial PPP application did. We will have in-product and email notifications about it when it launches. We do not have a timeline for this, but are working to have it available as soon as possible.

HM of QB at 17:14, Nov 28:

We will send you a notification via email or in product once forgiveness loan application can be submitted or is already available on quickbooks.

does anoone have any update? Has anyone applied successfully through quickbooks capitol for loan forgiveness? the link stil shows "just wait"

"Quickbooks Capital PPP online loan forgiveness application is not currently live".   hi there - any update yet please? thanks.

Hi there, chuckK.

I'm here to share some updates about the Quickbooks Capital PPP loan forgiveness.

As of now, application for PPP loan forgiveness is still unavailable in QuickBooks. We're also unable to provide a specific ETA for this. Please know that we're doing our best to have it available before the final cutoff date for eligible expenses. Rest assured, you'll receive in-app and email notifications about it when it launches. 

In the meantime, keep in mind that PPP loans are eligible to be forgiven in whole or in part if certain criteria are met. You may apply for loan forgiveness 8 weeks after you receive your loan. To prepare, keep a detailed record of your forgivable expenses right after you receive the loan. These expenses may include payroll costs, rent or lease payments, mortgage interest payments, and utility payments.

Remember, no more than 25% of the loan forgiveness amount can be attributed to eligible non-payroll costs. Additionally, it's important to keep track of wages and headcount. Reducing wages or headcount may reduce the forgivable amount for some borrowers.

Lastly, here's an article that you can read to help get everything set for Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness.

If there's anything else that I can help you with, please don't hesitate to tag me below. I'll be more than happy to help you again.

much thanks!

this is exactly what i'm after as well :) 

I am with you on this problem. It seems overtime you go on the web site to find out something about loan forgiveness they are trying to sell you something. My loan was funded by Crossover Bank and all I need is their SBA Loan Number, but they keep telling me I need to contact Intuit. Evedendily Intuit is making money the longer they can string this out. Does anyone have a phone number for Intuit that I can call without an effort to see me something. I am really getting pissed, my name is [removed name].
