Hi everyone.

client received an SBA loan during COVID while working as an Uber driver. Now, he files a Schedule C for a different field—home health care services under a single-member LLC. I would like to know if I can deduct the loan interest on his Schedule C or if I should apply Revenue Ruling 67-12 on Schedule 1.

Thanks for your help!

Was the SBA loan actually used for business expenses?  If so, I would put the interest on Schedule C.

If it was not used for business expenses, I don't think the interest goes anywhere.

Many of these SBA loans during Covid were just used to pay their personal expenses, in which case personal interest is not deductible.

@TaxGuyBill Yes it has been for business, but now business in 2024 is different from business during the Covid era
