The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form that aims to simplify the application process for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, as well as newly updated and revised forms to conform to the requirements of the latest stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief plan last month and provided $284 billion of funding to small businesses that needed loans. The funds were used to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The package also mandated the SBA to issue streamlined forms within 24 hours of the legislation being signed into law to simplify the procedure of applying for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions meant to encourage more loans from community banks, especially for minority-owned companies that had trouble getting loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, said that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to publish the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within the first 24 hours of the date of the enactment of 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 new forms.”
