The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form that aims to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, along with newly revised and updated forms to meet the requirements of the most recent stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package last month, which included $284 billion of financing for small-scale businesses who needed loans. This money was used to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The legislation required that the SBA provide 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 encourage community banks to make more loans specifically to minority-owned companies who had a difficult time getting loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release the one page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 hours of 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 updated forms.”
