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 comply with the current stimulus law.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package in the month of March and included $284 billion of financing for small-scale businesses who needed loans. The money was intended to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus epidemic. The legislation required that the SBA issue simplified forms within the first 24 hours after the bill’s passage into law. This was to facilitate the application for forgiveness. Additionally, it included conditions to encourage banks in the community to lend more specifically to minority-owned companies who had a difficult time getting loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement of releasing the one page form for loan forgiveness under the PPP by 24 days after the date of enactment the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars who is a partner of Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also published additional updated forms.”
