The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a form of one page that makes it easier to apply for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form is also updated with new forms that comply with the current stimulus law.
The COVID-19 relief plan that Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion of funds for small businesses that want forgivable loans to help them to deal with the effects of economic collapse of the coronavirus epidemic. The law required that the SBA issue simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the legislation’s signing into law. This was to make it easier to apply for forgiveness. Additionally, it included conditions that encourage community banks to make more loans specifically to minority-owned companies who were unable to obtain loans in the past.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement of releasing the one page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars who is a partner of Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also released additional updated forms.”
