Tracking Loan Proceeds to Your Business for the Payroll Protection Program/Stimulus Monies I am suggesting to all who received a loan for the Payroll Protection Program/Stimulus Monies that Congress approved for small business owners for covered payroll expenses, rent & utilities to: Set up a separate bank account and deposit the full amount of the loan so that all of the loan proceeds are in one account. Pay all/only covered expenses directly out of new established bank account so that there is a clear audit trail of what has been paid out of this account. If for any reason it is not possible to pay all covered expenses out of the newly established loan account then as soon as monies are paid for covered expenses reimburse the account where monies were paid from. Keep a file of all covered expenses, bank statements, canceled checks and supporting documentation in one place. This will help ensure all of your covered expenses to be tracked are in one account and for all of the covered expense documentation to be readily available when/if requested at the end of the eight week reporting period. Blessing and be safe. www.HisCPA.com
