The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a one-page form which makes it simpler to request the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form also contains newly updated forms that are in line with the current stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 aid package Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in funds for small businesses that want forgivable loans to help them to deal with the effects of economic collapse from the coronavirus pandemic. The package also mandated the SBA to issue simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the legislation being signed into law to simplify the application process for forgiveness, along with conditions that aim to increase the number of bank loans by community banks, specifically for minority-owned businesses 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.”
