The U.S. Small Business Administration issued a one-page application form designed to make it easier for applicants to complete the process of applying to forgive Paycheck Protection Program loans, as well as newly revised and updated forms to comply with the most recent stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief plan last month that offered $284 billion in 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 after the bill’s passage into law. This is to make it easier to apply for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions to encourage community banks to make more loans particularly to minority-owned businesses that had difficulty getting loans in the past.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement to issue the one page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 hours of the date of enactment the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also released new forms.”
