The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a 1-page form that makes it easier to apply for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form also contains newly updated forms that comply with the current stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 aid package Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion of funds for small businesses that want forgiven loans to help to deal with the effects of economic collapse from the coronavirus outbreak. The legislation required that the SBA provide simplified forms within 24 hours of the legislation’s signing into law. This was to facilitate the application for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions to encourage community banks to lend more specifically to minority-owned companies who were unable to obtain loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement to issue the one page form for loan forgiveness under the PPP by 24 days after the date of enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also issued additional updated forms.”
