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 is also updated with new forms that are in line with the most recent stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 aid package Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in financing for small-scale businesses looking for forgiveness loans to help them cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. It included a requirement for the SBA to issue simplified forms within 24 hours of the bill being adopted to make the process of applying for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions meant to encourage more bank loans by community banks, specifically for minority-owned businesses that struggled to get loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release the one-page form for the forgiveness of PPP loans by 24 days after the date of enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars, a partner at Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also published the updated forms.”
