The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a form of one page which makes it simpler to request forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form is also updated with new forms to comply with the current stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 relief package that Congress adopted last month revived the PPP with $284 billion of funding for small businesses seeking forgiveness loans to help them to deal with the effects of economic collapse of the coronavirus epidemic. The package also mandated the SBA to issue simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the legislation being approved by the lawmaker to streamline the procedure of applying for forgiveness. It also included conditions designed to facilitate more loans from community banks, specifically for minority-owned businesses who were unable to obtain loans in the past.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs and wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to publish the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of enactment under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. The article was posted on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also released more updated forms.”
