It included a requirement for the SBA to issue streamlined forms within 24 days of the bill being signed into law to simplify the application process for forgiveness, along with conditions that aim to increase the number of loans from community banks, especially for minority-owned businesses that 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 obligation to issue the one-page form for PPP loan forgiveness within the first 24 hours from the date of enactment in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. This was published on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also released new forms that were updated.”
