How do you verify a revenue reduction?

If you’re applying for your 2nd Draw PPP loan, you will be required to fill out a Proof of Revenue Reduction form as part of your online application to demonstrate at least a 25 percent reduction in gross receipts in the first, second, or third quarter of 2020 relative to the same 2019 quarter.

To prepare for this part of the application, you can review your business’ income statements (also called Profit and Loss statements) for 2019 and 2020.  They will ask for your quarterly Revenue and Expenses and you will need to demonstrate a 25% or more reduction in revenue over one quarter in 2019 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2020.

It is best to talk with your bookkeeper or accountant to make sure the paperwork is proper and up to date.
