Second Draw Borrower Application Form 

Revised March 18, 2021 

Paycheck Protection Program 

Purpose of this form: 

This form is to be completed by the authorized representative of the Applicant and submitted to your SBA Participating Lender. Submission of the requested 

information is required to make a determination regarding eligibility for financial assistance. Failure to submit the information would affect that 

determination. 

An Applicant that files an IRS Form 1040, Schedule C, and elects to calculate the PPP loan amount using net profit must use this form. An Applicant that 

files an IRS Form 1040, Schedule C, and elects to calculate the PPP loan amount using gross income cannot use this form, and instead must use SBA Form 

2483-SD-C. An Applicant that files an IRS Form 1040, Schedule F, and calculates the PPP loan amount using gross income must also use this form. 

Instructions for completing this form: 

With respect to Purpose of the Loan, payroll costs consist of compensation to employees (whose principal place of residence is the United States) in the 

form of salary, wages, commissions, or similar compensation; cash tips or the equivalent (based on employer records of past tips or, in the absence of such 

records, a reasonable, good-faith employer estimate of such tips); payment for vacation, parental, family, medical, or sick leave (except those paid leave 

amounts for which a credit is allowed under FFCRA Sections 7001 and 7003); allowance for separation or dismissal; payment for the provision of employee 

benefits (including insurance premiums) consisting of group health care coverage, group life, disability, vision, or dental insurance, and retirement benefits; 

payment of state and local taxes assessed on compensation of employees; and, for an independent contractor or sole proprietor, wage, commissions, income, 

or net earnings from self-employment or similar compensation. 

For purposes of calculating Average Monthly Payroll, most Applicants will use the average monthly payroll for 2019 or 2020, excluding costs over $100,000 

on an annualized basis, as prorated for the period during which the payments are made or the obligation to make the payments is incurred, for each employee. 

For seasonal businesses, the Applicant may elect to instead use average total monthly payroll for any twelve-week period selected by the Applicant between 

February 15, 2019 and February 15, 2020, excluding costs over $100,000 on an annualized basis, as prorated for the period during which the payments are 

made or the obligation to make the payments is incurred, for each employee. For new businesses without 12 months of payroll costs but that were in operation 

on February 15, 2020, average monthly payroll may be calculated based on the number of months in which payroll costs were incurred, excluding costs 

over $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee, as prorated for the period during which the payments are made or the obligation to make the 

payments is incurred, for each employee. For farmers and ranchers that operate as a sole proprietorship or as an independent contractor, or who are eligible 

self-employed individuals (including single member LLCs and qualified joint ventures) and report farm income or expenses on a Schedule F (or any 

equivalent successor IRS form), payroll costs are computed using eligible payroll costs for employees, if any, plus the lesser of $100,000 and the difference 

between gross income and any eligible payroll costs for employees, as reported on a Schedule F. For Applicants that file IRS Form 1040, Schedule C, and 

elect to calculate the PPP loan amount using net profit, payroll costs are computed using line 31 net profit amount, limited to $100,000, plus any eligible 

payroll costs for employees (to calculate loan amount using gross income, see SBA Form 2483-SD-C). For Applicants that are partnerships, payroll costs 

are computed using net earnings from self-employment of individual general partners, as reported on IRS Form 1065 K-1, reduced by section 179 expense 

deduction claimed, unreimbursed partnership expenses claimed, and depletion claimed on oil and gas properties, multiplied by 0.9235, that is not more than 

$100,000, plus any eligible payroll costs for employees. 

For Schedule F filers, if the Applicant is a qualified joint venture for federal income tax purposes ((1) the only members of the joint venture are a married 

couple who file a joint return and each file Schedule F, (2) both spouses materially participate in the trade or business, and (3) both spouses elect not to be 

treated as a partnership), only one spouse may submit this form on behalf of the qualified joint venture. For purposes of calculating the loan amount using 

gross income (Schedule F filers only), use the sum of gross income (Schedule F, line 9) from both spouses. 

In determining whether the Applicant experienced at least a 25% reduction in gross receipts, for loans above $150,000, the Applicant must identify the 2020 

quarter meeting this requirement, identify the reference quarter, and state the gross receipts amounts for both quarters, as well as provide supporting 

documentation. For loans of $150,000 and below, these fields are not required and the Applicant only must certify that the Applicant has met the 25% gross 

receipts reduction at the time of application; however, upon or before seeking loan forgiveness (or upon SBA request) the Applicant must provide 

documentation that identifies the 2020 quarter meeting this requirement, identifies the reference quarter, states the gross receipts amounts for both quarters, 

and supports the amounts provided. For all loans, the appropriate reference quarter depends on how long the Applicant has been in operation: 

• For all Applicants other than those satisfying the conditions set forth below, Applicants must demonstrate that gross receipts in any quarter of 2020 

were at least 25% lower than the same quarter of 2019. Alternatively, Applicants may compare annual gross receipts in 2020 with annual gross receipts 

in 2019; Applicants choosing to use annual gross receipts must enter “Annual” in the 2020 Quarter and Reference Quarter fields and, as required 

documentation, must submit copies of annual tax forms substantiating the annual gross receipts reduction. 

• For Applicants not in business during the first and second quarters of 2019 but in operation during the third and fourth quarters of 2019, Applicants 

must demonstrate that gross receipts in any quarter of 2020 were at least 25% lower than either the third or fourth quarters of 2019. 

• For Applicants not in business during the first, second, and third quarters of 2019 but in operation during the fourth quarter of 2019, Applicants must 

demonstrate that gross receipts in any quarter of 2020 were at least 25% lower than the fourth quarter of 2019. 

• For Applicants not in business during 2019 but in operation on February 15, 2020, Applicants must demonstrate that gross receipts in the second, third, 

or fourth quarter of 2020 were at least 25% lower than the first quarter of 2020. 

Gross receipts includes all revenue in whatever form received or accrued (in accordance with the Applicant’s accounting method) from whatever source, 

including from the sales of products or services, interest, dividends, rents, royalties, fees, or commissions, reduced by returns and allowances. Generally, 

receipts are considered “total income” (or in the case of a sole proprietorship “gross income”) plus “cost of goods sold” and excludes net capital gains or 

losses as these terms are defined and reported on IRS tax return forms. Gross receipts do not include the following: taxes collected for and remitted to a 

taxing authority if included in gross or total income, such as sales or other taxes collected from customers and excluding taxes levied on the concern or its 

employees; proceeds from transactions between a concern and its domestic or foreign affiliates; and amounts collected for another by a travel agent, real 

estate agent, advertising agent, conference management service provider, freight forwarder or customs broker. All other items, such as subcontractor costs, 

reimbursements for purchases a contractor makes at a customer's request, investment income, and employee-based costs such as payroll taxes, may not be 

excluded from gross receipts. Gross receipts of an Applicant must be aggregated with gross receipts of its affiliates. For a nonprofit organization, veterans

period used to calculate their aggregate payroll costs to determine their number of employees. Alternatively, Applicants may elect to use the average number 

of employees per pay period in the 12 completed calendar months prior to the date of the loan application. 

For purposes of reporting Year of Establishment, self-employed individuals and independent contractors may enter “NA”. 

For purposes of reporting NAICS Code, applicants must match the business activity code provided on their IRS income tax filings, if applicable. For 

purposes of calculating an Applicant’s maximum payroll costs, an Applicant may multiply its average monthly payroll costs by 3.5 only if the Applicant is

income tax return.

Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) – Under the provisions of the Privacy Act, you are not required to provide your social security number. Failure to provide your 

social security number may not affect any right, benefit or privilege to which you are entitled. (But see Debt Collection Notice regarding taxpayer 

identification number below.) Disclosures of name and other personal identifiers are required to provide SBA with sufficient information to make a character 

determination. When evaluating character, SBA considers the person’s integrity, candor, and disposition toward criminal actions. Additionally, SBA is

Disclosure of Information – Requests for information about another party may be denied unless SBA has the written permission of the individual to release 

the information to the requestor or unless the information is subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The Privacy Act authorizes SBA 

to make certain “routine uses” of information protected by that Act. One such routine use is the disclosure of information maintained in SBA’s system of 

records when this information indicates a violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or administrative in nature. Specifically, SBA may 

refer the information to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local or foreign, charged with responsibility for, or otherwise involved in 

investigation, prosecution, enforcement or prevention of such violations. Another routine use is disclosure to other Federal agencies conducting background 

checks but only to the extent the information is relevant to the requesting agencies’ function. See, 74 F.R. 14890 (2009), and as amended from time to time 

for additional background and other routine uses. In addition, the CARES Act, requires SBA to register every loan made under the Paycheck Protection

Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3401) – The Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978, grants SBA access rights to financial records held 

by financial institutions that are or have been doing business with you or your business including any financial institutions participating in a loan or loan 

guaranty. SBA is only required provide a certificate of its compliance with the Act to a financial institution in connection with its first request for access to

Government authority any financial records concerning an approved loan or loan guarantee, as necessary to process, service or foreclose on a loan guaranty 

or collect on a defaulted loan guaranty. 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) – This law provides, with some exceptions, that SBA must supply information reflected in agency files and 

records to a person requesting it. Information about approved loans that is generally released includes, among other things, statistics on our loan programs 

(individual borrowers are not identified in the statistics) and other information such as the names of the borrowers, the amount of the loan, and the type of 

the loan. Proprietary data on a borrower would not routinely be made available to third parties. All requests under this Act are to be addressed to the nearest 

SBA office and be identified as a Freedom of Information request. 

Occupational Safety and Health Act (15 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can require businesses to 

modify facilities and procedures to protect employees. Businesses that do not comply may be fined and required to abate the hazards in their workplaces. 

They may also be ordered to cease operations posing an imminent danger of death or serious injury until employees can be protected. Signing this form is 

certification that the applicant, to the best of its knowledge, is in compliance with the applicable OSHA requirements, and will remain in compliance during 

the life of the loan. 

Civil Rights (13 C.F.R. 112, 113, 117) – All businesses receiving SBA financial assistance must agree not to discriminate in any business practice, including 

employment practices and services to the public on the basis of categories cited in 13 C.F.R., Parts 112, 113, and 117 of SBA Regulations. All borrowers
