The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a 1-page form that simplifies the application for the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form is also updated with new forms that are in line with the current stimulus law.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package last month, which offered $284 billion in funding for small-scale businesses who needed loans. The funds were used to offset the economic impact of the coronavirus epidemic. The package also mandated the SBA to issue simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the bill being adopted to make the process of applying for forgiveness. It also included conditions designed to facilitate more loans from community banks, especially for minority-owned businesses that were unable to obtain loans in the past.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement to issue the one page form for PPP loan forgiveness by 24 days after the date of enactment the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars, a partner at Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also issued new forms.”
