The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a one-page form that simplifies the application for the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form also contains newly updated forms that comply with the most recent stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 relief plan that Congress approved last month renewed the PPP with $284 billion in funds for small businesses that want forgiven loans to help deal with the financial fallout from the coronavirus outbreak. It included a requirement for the SBA to issue simplified forms within 24 days of the bill being adopted to make the application process for forgiveness, along with conditions that aim to increase the number of bank loans by community banks, specifically for minority-owned companies that had trouble getting loans in the past.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement of releasing the single-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 at Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also issued new forms that were updated.”
