The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form designed to make it easier for applicants to complete the process of applying to forgive Paycheck Protection Program loans, along with newly revised and updated forms to conform to the requirements of the latest stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 relief package that Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in funds for small businesses that want forgivable loans to help them to deal with the effects of economic collapse from the coronavirus outbreak. The law required that the SBA provide simplified forms within 24 hours of the signing into law. This was done to make it easier to apply for forgiveness. It also included conditions to encourage community banks to lend more, especially to minority-owned businesses who were unable to obtain loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement of releasing the one-page form for the forgiveness of PPP loans within 24 hours of the date of enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars, a partner at Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also released new forms that were updated.”
