The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a one-page form that simplifies the application for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form is also updated with new forms that are in line with the latest stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 aid package Congress adopted last month revived the PPP with $284 billion of funding for small businesses seeking forgiven loans to help deal with the financial fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. It also included a requirement that the SBA to issue simplified forms within 24 hours after the legislation was adopted to make the process of applying for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions that aim to increase the number of bank loans by community banks, particularly for minority-owned companies that had trouble getting loans in the past.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement of releasing the one page form for the forgiveness of PPP loans by 24 days after the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also published new forms that were updated.”
