The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a form of one page that makes it easier to apply for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. It also includes newly revised forms to comply with the most recent stimulus law.
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 cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak. The legislation required that the SBA release simplified forms within 24 hours of the legislation’s signing into law. This was done to facilitate the application for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions to encourage community banks to lend more specifically to minority-owned companies who had a difficult time getting loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to publish the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within the first 24 hours of the date of enactment under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. This was on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also published new forms.”
