March 5, 2021 - SBA Interim Final Rule (IFR)
SBA releases new interim final rule (IFR), effective today. Highlights of the IFR include: revised loan calculation formula for Form 1040, Schedule C sole proprietors, independent contractors, and self-employed individuals to use gross income (re: line 7) instead of net income (re: line 31), allowing for larger loan requests; this new calculation is applicable for new applications or loans not yet disbursed, not retroactive to disbursed loans; $1 billion has been set aside for PPP loans to businesses in this category who do not have employees and are located in low- or moderate-income areas; elimination of qualifying restrictions for small-business owners delinquent on their federal student loans or with prior non-fraud felony convictions.
