The CARES Act misses listing education benefits as eligible covered payments for forgiveness. However, we expect non-taxable education benefits paid through payroll as cash compensation may qualify for loan forgiveness.\u00a0 Paying compensation to your team in the PPP covered period sounds like great sense to achieve 100% PPP loan forgiveness. Education benefits paid out of PPP loan funds are not tax-deductible since it is paid for by the government. It will, however, be tax-deductible for the employer if paid outside the covered period or with non-PPP funds. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We hope this DrillBit helps you while your business recovers from COVID-19 created interruption!\u00a0 Let us know if you have questions on this or any other COVID-related financial concerns.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Choose Drilldown Solution for Your Dental Practice Financial Management Needs!<\/h2>\r\n<p>At Drilldown Solution, we are your one-stop-shop for all financial management and business consulting for your dental practice.
