The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form aimed at simplifying the application process for the forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, as well as newly updated and revised forms that conform to the requirements of the most recent stimulus legislation. 

Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package in the month of March, which offered $284 billion in funding to small businesses that needed loans. This money was used to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus epidemic. The legislation required that the SBA release simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the legislation’s signing into law. This was to make it easier to apply for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions that would encourage community banks to lend more specifically to minority-owned companies that had difficulty getting loans last year.

Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the obligation to issue the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within the first 24 hours of the date of enactment under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. This was on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also published additional updated forms.”
