Frequently asked questions

What is the Paycheck Protection Program?

The Paycheck Protection Program is part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which the government recently approved an additional $310 billion in government-backed forgivable loans to help small businesses continue paying payroll costs and certain operating expenses.

Your firm and clients who are small businesses or other eligible organizations may each be eligible for up to $10 million as part of the program, depending on their average monthly payroll costs, 75% of which must be used to cover payroll and other employee benefits (PTO, insurance premiums, retirement, etc.). The loan may also be used to cover mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. Other rules apply to sole proprietorships, independent contractors, eligible self-employed individuals, and others who report self-employment income on IRS Form 1040, Schedule C.

How can I determine which emergency funds my firm or clients are eligible for?

To help you and your clients understand the options, we have also created Intuit Aid Assist, a free website with an interactive tool to help small businesses and individuals evaluate their eligibility for emergency financial relief.

Which lenders are currently processing Paycheck Protection Program applications?

In addition to QuickBooks Capital, please refer to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s list of active SBA 7(a) lenders.
