The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a 1-page form which makes it simpler to request forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form also contains newly updated forms that comply with the current stimulus law.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief plan last month that offered $284 billion in funding to small businesses that needed loans. The money was intended to offset the economic impact of the coronavirus epidemic. The package also mandated the SBA to issue streamlined forms within 24 days of the bill being signed into law to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness, along with conditions meant to encourage more bank loans by community banks, specifically for minority-owned companies that were unable to obtain loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement to issue the one-page form for PPP loan forgiveness by 24 days after the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also issued new forms.”
