The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a form of one page that simplifies the application for the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. It also includes newly revised forms that are in line with the most recent stimulus law.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package in the month of March that offered $284 billion in funding to small businesses that needed loans. The funds were used to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus epidemic. The law required that the SBA provide simplified forms within the first 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 make more loans particularly to minority-owned businesses that had difficulty getting loans in the past.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs and said that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to issue the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within 24 hours from 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 issued new forms.”
