The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form that aims to simplify the application process for the forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, as well as newly revised and updated forms to comply with the latest stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief plan last month, which offered $284 billion in funding for small-scale businesses who needed loans. The money was intended to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus outbreak. The law required that the SBA provide simplified forms within 24 hours of the signing into law. This is to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness. It also included conditions to encourage community banks to make more loans, especially to minority-owned businesses that had difficulty getting loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release the one page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 hours of the date of the 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 released new forms that were updated.”
