The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a one-page form that simplifies the application for the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. It also includes newly revised forms to comply with the latest stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief plan last month that provided $284 billion of funding to small businesses in need of loans. This money was used to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus outbreak. The package also mandated the SBA to issue simplified forms within the first 24 hours after the legislation was adopted to make the application process for forgiveness, along with conditions that aim to increase the number of loans from community banks, particularly for minority-owned businesses who struggled to get loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to publish the PPP form, which is one page long, for loan forgiveness within 24 hours from the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. The article was posted on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also published additional updated forms.”
