The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form aimed at simplifying the process of applying for the forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, as well as newly revised and updated forms to conform to the requirements of the most recent stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief plan last month and included $284 billion of financing for small-scale businesses who needed loans. The money was intended to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus outbreak. The law requires that the SBA release simplified forms within 24 hours of the legislation’s signing into law. This is to facilitate the application for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions to encourage banks in the community to lend more specifically to minority-owned companies who had a difficult time getting loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs and stated that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the obligation to issue the one-page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 hours from 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 released more updated forms.”
