The U.S. Small Business Administration issued a one-page application form that aims to simplify the application process for the forgiveness of 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 plan last month, which included $284 billion of financing for small-scale businesses who needed loans. This money was used to reduce the economic burden of the coronavirus epidemic. The package also mandated the SBA to issue streamlined forms within the first 24 hours after the legislation was adopted to make the process of applying for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions meant to encourage more bank loans by community banks, specifically for minority-owned businesses that were unable to obtain loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement to issue the single-page form for the forgiveness of PPP loans by 24 days after the date of enactment the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars who is a partner of Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also released updated forms.”
