The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form that aims to simplify the application process for the forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, along with newly revised and updated forms to conform to the requirements of the most recent stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 relief package that Congress approved last month renewed the PPP with $284 billion in funding for small businesses seeking forgiven loans to help to deal with the effects of economic collapse from the coronavirus outbreak. The legislation required that the SBA provide simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the signing into law. This is to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness. Additionally, it included conditions that would encourage banks in the community to lend more particularly to minority-owned businesses who were unable to obtain loans in the past.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs and wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to issue the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within the first 24 hours from the date of enactment under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. The article was posted on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also issued additional updated forms.”
