The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a form of one page that makes it easier to apply for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. It also includes newly revised forms that are in line with the current stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package in the month of March and provided $284 billion of funding for small-scale businesses who needed loans. This money was used to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The law requires that the SBA issue simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the signing into law. This was to facilitate the application for forgiveness. It also included conditions to encourage community banks to lend more particularly to minority-owned businesses who had a difficult time getting loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs stated that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to publish the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within 24 hours of the date of enactment under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. This was published on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also issued more updated forms.”
