The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a one-page form which makes it simpler to request forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form also contains newly updated forms to comply with the current stimulus law.
The COVID-19 relief package that Congress approved last month renewed the PPP with $284 billion in financing for small-scale businesses looking for forgivable loans to help them cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak. The legislation required that the SBA issue simplified forms within the first 24 hours after the bill’s passage into law. This was to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness. Additionally, it included conditions that encourage community banks to make more loans particularly to minority-owned businesses that had difficulty getting loans in the past.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs stated that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to publish the one-page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 days 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 the updated forms.”
