The U.S. Small Business Administration issued a one-page application form that aims to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, as well as newly updated and revised forms to comply with the most recent stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 relief package that Congress adopted last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in financing for small-scale businesses looking for forgiven loans to help deal with the financial fallout from the coronavirus outbreak. The legislation required that the SBA release simplified forms within the first 24 hours after the bill’s passage into law. This was to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness. Additionally, it included conditions to encourage banks in the community to lend more particularly to minority-owned businesses that had difficulty getting loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement to issue the one page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 hours of the date of enactment of 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 additional updated forms.”
