Hi Connie-The recent podcast concerning small business loans, PPP loans and the importance of applying for unemployment really helped explain these important issues in a clear and organized manner. many thanks to you, Sharon, and John for the time and effort on the artist's behalf>
Latest news about the EIDL grants. No surprise to anyone, the SBA is swamped with requests and low on funds: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/04/15/another-sba-prog...
Yes, if that is all of the income you have. Use that.
Hi Connie, I did try to call and you saw my number but all I got when I dialed that
number was a recording of a blog I couldn't speak to you live. I was unable to move
forward from the 2nd page even though I answered all the questions. Can us put the amount that's
on your 1099 as your gross?
yes
is that the link above to listen to the podcast?
Economic Injury Disaster Loans:
These loans for small business from the Small Business Administration are available for self-employed individuals, sole proprietors, freelancers, etc. Applications are available online and should take less than two hours to complete. We’re hearing that these funds are on a first come, first served basis, so don’t delay. You can always turn it down if it turns out you don’t need it. These loans are intended to cover business expenses during the COVID crisis. Three days after approval, there is a $10,000 advance that will be considered a grant. The remainder of the loan is a low interest loan.
