The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form that aims to simplify the application process to forgive Paycheck Protection Program loans, along with newly revised and updated forms to conform to the requirements of the most recent stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package in the month of March, which offered $284 billion in funding to small businesses in need of loans. This money was used to offset the economic impact of the coronavirus epidemic. The law required that the SBA provide simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the signing into law. This is to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness. It also included conditions to encourage community banks to make more loans, especially to minority-owned businesses that had difficulty getting loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the obligation to issue the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within the first 24 hours from the date of enactment in 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.”
