If you have tax-exempt income resulting from the forgiveness of a PPP loan, attach a statement to your return reporting each tax year for which you are applying Revenue Procedure 2021-48, and which section of Revenue Procedure 2021-48 you are applying–either section 3.01(1), (2), or (3). Any statement should include the following information for each PPP loan. Your name, address, and ITIN or SSN. A statement that you are applying or applied section 3.01(1), (2), or (3) of Revenue Procedure 2021-48, and for what tax year.
