The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a form of one page that simplifies the application for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. It also includes newly revised forms that are in line with the current stimulus law.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package last month, which included $284 billion of financing to small businesses that needed loans. The money was intended to reduce the economic burden of the coronavirus epidemic. The package also mandated the SBA to issue simplified forms within 24 days of the bill being approved by the lawmaker to streamline the application process for forgiveness, along with conditions that aim to increase the number of loans from community banks, specifically for minority-owned businesses that struggled to get loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs and wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the obligation to issue the one-page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. This was published on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also issued updated forms.”
