The U.S. Small Business Administration issued a one-page application form designed to make it easier for applicants to complete the application process to forgive Paycheck Protection Program loans, together with updated and revised forms to comply with the most recent stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 relief plan that Congress approved last month renewed the PPP with $284 billion in financing for small-scale businesses looking for forgiveness loans to help them to deal with the effects of economic collapse from the coronavirus outbreak. It included a requirement for the SBA to issue streamlined forms within 24 hours of the bill being approved by the lawmaker to streamline the process of applying for forgiveness. It also included conditions meant to encourage more loans from community banks, especially for minority-owned businesses who had trouble getting loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement of releasing the single-page form for loan forgiveness under the PPP within 24 days of the date of enactment 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 published new forms that were updated.”
