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 are in line with the current stimulus law.
The COVID-19 relief package that Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion of financing for small-scale businesses looking for forgivable loans to help them cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. The package also mandated the SBA to issue simplified forms within 24 days of the bill being signed into law to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness. It also included conditions that aim to increase the number of loans from community banks, particularly for minority-owned businesses who had trouble getting loans in the past.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, said that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to issue the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within 24 hours from 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 issued new forms that were updated.”
