The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form aimed at simplifying the process of applying for the forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, along with newly revised and updated forms to comply with the latest stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 relief plan that Congress adopted last month revived the PPP with $284 billion of funding for small businesses seeking forgiven loans to help cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak. The law required that the SBA provide simplified forms within the first 24 hours after the bill’s passage into law. This was done to facilitate the application for forgiveness. It also included conditions that encourage banks in the community to lend more, especially to minority-owned businesses who had a difficult time getting loans in the past.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release the single-page form for loan forgiveness under the PPP within 24 hours 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 published new forms.”
