The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form designed to make it easier for applicants to complete the application process for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, together with revised and updated forms to conform to the requirements of the latest stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 relief plan that Congress adopted last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in financing for small-scale businesses looking for forgivable loans to help them deal with the financial fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. The law requires that the SBA issue simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the signing into law. This is to facilitate the application for forgiveness. It also included conditions to encourage community banks to make more loans, especially to minority-owned businesses who were unable to obtain loans in the past.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement of releasing the one-page form for loan forgiveness under the PPP by 24 days after the date of enactment 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 additional updated forms.”
