Food & Accommodation Business

For the second round of PPP, businesses in the food and accommodation services (NAICS 72) are eligible for 3.5 months of payroll instead of 2.5 months (approximately 30% instead of 20%). Being that you are in the food or accommodation industry, your PPP amount above was changed to the higher amount.

Schedule C

If you are self-employed or on a 1099, a Schedule C (see image below) should be in your personal tax return. If you didn’t file taxes yet, you can make (or ask your accountant for) a draft Schedule C.

“Gross” vs “Net” income

Gross Income: This is your income before any expenses, line 7 of your Schedule C
Net Income: This is your profit after expenses, line 31 of your Schedule C.

As of 03/03/2021, you can calculate your PPP based on either gross income (line 7) or net income (line 31).

Wait time between First and Second Draw PPP

If you got your first round of PPP in 2021, check here to see if enough time has passed for you to apply for the second round of PPP. If you applied for the first round of PPP in 2020, enough time has definitely passed from your first round of PPP and you don’t need to check anything.
