The FTB has just clarified that EIDL (Economic Injury Disaster Loan) advance grants are taxable to California. AB 1577 (Ch. 20-39) enacted a California exclusion for PPP loan forgiveness, essentially mirroring the federal exclusion adopted by the CARES Act. However, the federal exclusion for EIDL grants was enacted by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, which California has not conformed to. California would have to enact new legislation to conform to this exclusion.

Legislation has been introduced (AB 281) that declares the intent to conform California law to the federal law allowing the deduction of expenses paid with forgiven PPP debt. The author of the bill is Assemblywoman Autumn Burke, the chair of the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee. She is also the author of last year’s bill AB 1577 (Ch. 19-39), which excluded from taxable income any cancellation of debt income arising from PPP loan forgiveness, but required that deductions for expenses paid with the PPP loan forgiveness amount be reduced.

The IRS created a new form for reporting payments made to independent contractors. It is no longer appropriate to include those payments on form 1099MISC, you must now file them on new form 1099NEC. (non employee compensation). The other catch to this is that the 1099NEC is not part of the combined state reporting program. Many of you may not have even realized that there was a combined program. That program was what allowed you to file with the IRS only, while still satisfying your state’s filing requirement. That is because the IRS agreed to share that information with the…
