The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a single-page form aimed at simplifying the process of applying for the forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, as well as newly updated and revised forms that comply with the latest stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package in the month of March that provided $284 billion of funding for small-scale businesses who needed loans. This money was used to offset the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak. The law required that the SBA issue simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the signing into law. This is to make it easier to apply for forgiveness. Additionally, it included conditions to encourage community banks to lend more specifically to minority-owned companies who were unable to obtain loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs and wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to issue the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within 24 hours from 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 released new forms that were updated.”
