The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form designed to make it easier for applicants to complete the application process for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, together with updated and revised forms to meet the requirements of the most recent stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 aid package Congress adopted last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in funding for small businesses seeking forgivable loans to help them to deal with the effects of economic collapse from the coronavirus pandemic. The law required that the SBA release simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the legislation’s signing into law. This was to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness. Additionally, it included conditions that would encourage banks in the community to lend more specifically to minority-owned companies that had difficulty getting loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs and said that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to publish the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within 24 hours of the date of enactment under 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.”
