The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a one-page form that makes it easier to apply for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form also contains newly updated forms that comply with the most recent stimulus law.
The COVID-19 aid package Congress adopted last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in funds for small businesses that want forgiveness loans to help them deal with the financial fallout of the coronavirus epidemic. The law requires 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. The legislation also contained conditions that encourage community banks to make more loans specifically to minority-owned companies who were unable to obtain loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to publish the one-page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of enactment in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. This was on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also released more updated forms.”
