The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a 1-page form that makes it easier to apply for the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. It also includes newly revised forms that are in line with 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. It also included a requirement that the SBA to issue streamlined forms within 24 hours after the legislation was adopted to make the procedure of applying for forgiveness, along with conditions designed to facilitate more bank loans by community banks, particularly for minority-owned companies that had trouble getting loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement to issue the one page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 hours of the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also published additional updated forms.”
