PPP S-Corp Basis Adjustment M2

PPP loan is added to Shareholder Basis.

In 2020 it was included on Sch M2 Colum (d) OAA.

But that does not add to their basis on M2.

Per M2 instructions 2021, it should be in column (a) line 3 if I am reading the instructions correct and they do get to add it to their basis.

Is Lacerte going to fix this or is there a reason we have to manually do this?

Is this answer correct for handling the M2 difference?

I know. I am nervous to pull the trigger or do I wait for an update in case of calculation issues later...

I figured out the issues I was having, I believe Lacerte is handling this correctly and no additional entries or overrides need to be made once you follow the directions on how to enter PPP forgiveness.

Has there been an answer to this question? Will Lacerte add a checkbox or something that will computationally move PPP loan forgiveness from column d to column a of Schedule M-2?

S-corp returns are due in two days...

I just followed the M2 instructions because that is all I could find that people did and no Lacerte response.
