re: SBA and PPP

If you get an EIDL and a PPP, they are supposed to roll the EIDL balance into the PPP. That's why that language is there now.
But the EIDL loan isn't forgivable outside of the $10k, right? And if that is the case then I want the longer payback terms of the EIDL. I know you can roll a previous EIDL loan into the PPP if you are using them for the same purpose, but I thought as long as the EIDL and PPP weren't for the same expenses then you could keep them separate?

From the AICPA:
Agree client service is always first and we are taking care of them. We are not attesting to anything or putting anything on letterhead (we also don't do comfort letters) and company's are self certifying. We are preparing the calculation which is specifically outlined in the agent duties.
Should add firms in our network affiliation are pretty split down the middle on who is doing agent fees and who is doing consulting fee. One or 2 are doing both where they are charging consulting for advising on which loan to take and then agent fee for the application...AICPA issued guidance that this was acceptable.

Agent % Fee
AICPA has concluded that the Agent Fee based upon a % of the loan amount will not be a contingent fee that violates independence in the case of attest clients. This determination was based off of the language within the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct which gives an out for such fees when the fees are fixed and set by a regulatory agency such as the SBA and U.S. Treasury.

neither have I....do you know where you can go and check the status or edit the application?
I just got a confirmation number, but I don't think there is a way to check the status of the application.

Correct.
I am seeing some places say you CAN roll the EIDL into the PPP, and others saying you WILL roll the EIDL into the PPP.

AICPA is going to be more aggressive than the insurers.
AICPA won't defend me if I get sued or hauled before a regulator.
I can certainly defend myself by saying I followed AICPA rules and I can win, I think...
Juice isn't worth the squeeze for us. Just my opinion. It's not an easy decision.

will they deduct the 10k from your PPP loan?
so say you take the $10k advance and you qualify for $100k of PPP....will they send you just $90k and call it a day?

Same here. Plus we're not under a fraction of the pressure the banks are. I'm good with collecting my people's hourly rates.

I am already having bankers tell me they need the calculation on firm letterhead, attested to and signed by us. That ain't happening unless I'm doing at least an agreed-upon procedures and by the time I do that, the money might be gone.

From what I see - I think you need to deduct the $10k from the loan amount in your PPP application.

Our attorneys and insurers looked over EL and agent certification and said we were good to go.
Maybe we have retained a bunch of cowboys. Haha

How big are y'all? There is less than 10 of us, only 3 of us are CPAs, and we don't have an affiliation. So we are kinda just rolling with it based on what our insurer tells us and what we think is a defensible approach. Would not be the first time we left money on the table for probably being too conservative, but thats ok.

Here we go.....I just got a message stating the SBA has not completed the addition of the PPP Product into their software. At this time no banks can complete the application process
Posted on 4/3/20 at 9:58 am to tgrbaitn08
My ray of light seems to be gone now
Posted on 4/3/20 at 9:59 am to tgrbaitn08
That would explain why when I click on the link to apply at my bank's website, I just get a "site can't be reached" message.

Just found some additional info. The bottom of page 15 has some good EIDL/PPP clarification.
So essentially you can have both provided that your EIDL proceeds aren't used for payroll.

A lot of them were holding back today anyways.
A good friend of mine is controller for a local bank, I talked to her about 830 and they were about to step into a board of directors meeting to review all the final details with their legal team and were hoping to turn on the app on their website somewhere around noon.
I would guess banks can still accept info, but I wonder how many are actually ready to submit to the SBA now anyways?
