The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a form of one page that makes it easier to apply for the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form is also updated with new forms that comply with the current stimulus law.
The COVID-19 relief package that Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in funding for small businesses seeking forgiveness loans to help them to deal with the effects of economic collapse of the coronavirus epidemic. The law required that the SBA provide simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the signing into law. This is to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions that encourage community banks to make more loans particularly to minority-owned businesses who were unable to obtain loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, said that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to publish the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of enactment under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. This was published on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also published additional updated forms.”
