The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a form of one page which makes it simpler to request the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. It also includes newly revised forms to comply with the latest stimulus law.
The COVID-19 relief package that Congress adopted last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in funds for small businesses that want forgiven loans to help cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak. The law requires that the SBA issue simplified forms within 24 hours of the legislation’s signing into law. This is to make it easier to apply for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions that would encourage banks in the community to lend more specifically to minority-owned companies who had a difficult time getting loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release the single-page form for loan forgiveness under the PPP within 24 days of the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars who is a partner of Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also released the updated forms.”
