The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a single-page form aimed at simplifying the process of applying for the forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, along with newly updated and revised forms that meet the requirements of the most recent stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package in the month of March, which provided $284 billion of funding for small-scale businesses who needed loans. The money was intended to offset the economic impact of the coronavirus epidemic. It included a requirement for the SBA to issue streamlined forms within the first 24 hours of the bill being approved by the lawmaker to streamline the procedure of applying for forgiveness. It also included conditions that aim to increase the number of bank loans by community banks, particularly for minority-owned companies that were unable to obtain loans in the past.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs stated that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to issue the PPP form, which is one page long, for loan forgiveness within 24 hours from the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. This was on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also released additional updated forms.”
