The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a 1-page form that simplifies the application for the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form also contains newly updated forms to comply with the most recent stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package in the month of March, which offered $284 billion in funding to small businesses in need of loans. This money was used to reduce the economic burden of the coronavirus epidemic. The legislation required that the SBA release simplified forms within 24 hours of the legislation’s signing into law. This was done to facilitate the application for forgiveness. It also included conditions that encourage community banks to make more loans, especially to minority-owned businesses that had difficulty getting loans in the past.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement to issue the single-page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars, a partner at Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also issued the updated forms.”
