I guess the question would be if they actually had that much payroll? Just say you need a copy of their forgiveness application and quarterly payroll filings for reporting of a few items surrounding the COVID programs on the tax returns - see what they claimed on those, versus the financials, If it doesn't pass a sniff test, I wouldn't be interested in putting my name on the return. Our professional certification does require us to inquire to a reasonable extent when something is off.
This isn't quite what I was implying. I'm saying their entire PPP loan basically went to the owners as a distribution. I'm comfortable signing the return. I know the owner personally and I'm not concerned with what they did with the PPP loan.
If book income is $5,000 with 1.5M of PPP COD income, then doesn't that mean they would have a 1.5M loss without that loan forgiveness income? Where did the 1.5M for distributions come from?
I adjusted book income. Book income was really 1.505M.
