The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form aimed at simplifying the process of applying for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, as well as newly updated and revised forms to comply with the latest stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 aid package Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in funding for small businesses seeking forgiven loans to help cope with the economic fallout of the coronavirus epidemic. The law required that the SBA issue simplified forms within 24 hours after the bill’s passage into law. This is to facilitate the application for forgiveness. It also included conditions that encourage banks in the community to lend more specifically to minority-owned companies who were unable to obtain loans in the past.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release the single-page form for loan forgiveness under the PPP within 24 hours of the date of enactment of 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 new forms that were updated.”
