The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a one-page form that simplifies the application for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form is also updated with new forms that comply with the latest stimulus law.
The COVID-19 relief package that Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in funding for small businesses seeking forgivable loans to help them deal with the financial fallout of the coronavirus epidemic. The law required that the SBA provide simplified forms within the first 24 hours after the bill’s passage into law. This was done to make it easier to apply for forgiveness. Additionally, it included conditions to encourage banks in the community to lend more specifically to minority-owned companies who were unable to obtain loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement of releasing the one page form for loan forgiveness under the PPP within 24 days of the date of the 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 released more updated forms.”
