The U.S. Small Business Administration issued a one-page application form designed to make it easier for applicants to complete the process of applying for the forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, as well as newly updated and revised forms that conform to the requirements of the latest stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 relief package that Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion of funding for small businesses seeking forgivable loans to help them cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. The legislation required that the SBA release simplified forms within 24 hours of the signing into law. This was done to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness. It also included conditions that encourage community banks to lend more, especially to minority-owned businesses who had a difficult time getting loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release the single-page form for loan forgiveness under the PPP within 24 days 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 the updated forms.”
