Paycheck protection for sole proprietor with no employees or payroll

[justagirl12]

I can apply for the PPP loan as a sole proprietor and supposedly receive 2.5 months of income which is reported on my schedule C. But, when I go to fill out the application, it stipulates at least 25% has to go toward payroll for loan forgiveness. How do you prove you applied towards payroll when you’re the sole employee and have no payroll??

Technically your pay yourself and are 1 employee.  That's what I have been advised through a finance guy.  You should use a separate account to receive the funds for accounting purposes. PAY yourself from that account!

You are your own payroll.
