now the irs apparently has issued a notice saying, well, we thesethat maybe deductions aren't deductible when you got the money, not when it is forgiven, even if you don't know if it's going to be forgiven. the thing that irritates me the most is at the beginning of this process when different congressmen, when it was explained to them that this money as it turns out is going to be taxable, they said no, we will need to change the law because that was not our intent. anything toing protect businesses or give them hard and fast rules on this. the other thing i have to say about this as there are some businesses that probably got the .oney and didn't make it is that going to be taxable to them? forget about paying the money back, but are they going to have to pay tax on money they don't have any more? i don't see a single congressperson seeming to be concerned about this, when it was unanimous, all of the republicans and democrats were all for the ppp loans. when it comes down to how tricky and difficult and challenging this is, there is no help whatsoever. host: let's let shane shifflett
