The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a one-page form that makes it easier to apply for the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form also contains newly updated forms to comply with the most recent stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package last month that provided $284 billion of funding to small businesses that needed loans. This money was used to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus outbreak. The package also mandated the SBA to issue simplified forms within the first 24 hours after the legislation was signed into law to simplify the application process for forgiveness, along with conditions meant to encourage more bank loans by community banks, particularly for minority-owned businesses that struggled to get loans in the past.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release the one-page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also issued new forms.”
