I have prepared four 1120S using Turbo Tax.  Two of them kept receiving an error regarding Schedule M-1.  The two with this error had nothing on Schedule K-1, 16 B, but the two without the error had the PPP forgiveness amount there.  Which one is correct?

I am not able to view the tax returns.  Did all four tax returns report forgiven PPP loans?

 

If so, PPP loan forgiveness is rightly reported on IRS Form K-1 (1120-S) in box 16 code B.

 

On the IRS Form 1120-S, PPP loan forgiveness is reported as tax exempt income on the Schedule M-1 under Other permanent income items.

 

In TurboTax Business, under Federal Taxes / About Your Business, you are asked to report forgiveness for a PPP loan at the screen Forgiven PPP Loan.
