The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a one-page form that simplifies the application for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. It also includes newly revised forms that are in line with the most recent stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 relief plan that Congress adopted 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 from the coronavirus outbreak. The legislation required that the SBA provide simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the legislation’s signing into law. This is to make it easier to apply for forgiveness. It also included conditions to encourage banks in the community to lend more specifically to minority-owned companies who had a difficult time getting loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release the one page form for the forgiveness of PPP loans by 24 days after the date of 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 the updated forms.”
