The U.S. Small Business Administration issued a one-page application form that aims to simplify the process of applying to forgive Paycheck Protection Program loans, along with newly updated and revised forms to meet the requirements of the latest stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 aid package Congress adopted last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in financing for small-scale businesses looking for forgivable loans to help them to deal with the effects of economic collapse from the coronavirus pandemic. The law 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. The legislation also contained conditions that would encourage community banks to lend more particularly to minority-owned businesses who were unable to obtain loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the obligation to issue the PPP form, which is one page long, for loan forgiveness within the first 24 hours of the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. The article was posted on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also issued new forms that were updated.”
