Anyone know the correct accounting entries for a forgiven ppp loan for an s-corp?  Close out the liability (loan) and book to equity?  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Yes, you got it. Per the revised rules om forgiveness, a sole proprietor or LLC simply records the forgiveness as non-taxable grant, but an S corporation must add the forgiven amount to company basis, which means equity in a nutshell.

    What is the equity account to credit for an S corp?  is it retained earnings or owners draw?
