The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a 1-page form that makes it easier to apply for the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form is also updated with new forms that comply with the current stimulus law.
The COVID-19 relief plan that Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion of financing for small-scale businesses looking for forgivable loans to help them deal with the financial fallout of the coronavirus epidemic. The package also mandated the SBA to issue streamlined forms within 24 hours after the legislation was adopted to make the application process for forgiveness. It also included conditions meant to encourage more bank loans by community banks, specifically for minority-owned businesses who struggled to get loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release the one-page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of 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 released new forms.”
