The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a one-page form that simplifies the application for the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form also contains newly updated forms to comply with the most recent stimulus law.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package last month that provided $284 billion of funding to small businesses that needed loans. This money was used to offset the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak. The law required that the SBA release simplified forms within 24 hours of the signing into law. This was done to make it easier to apply for forgiveness. Additionally, it included conditions that would encourage community banks to make more loans, especially to minority-owned businesses who had a difficult time getting loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the obligation to issue the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. This was on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also released new forms that were updated.”
