The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a form of one page which makes it simpler to request forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form also contains newly updated forms that comply with the current stimulus law.
The COVID-19 aid package Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in funding for small businesses seeking forgiveness loans to help them to deal with the effects of economic collapse from the coronavirus outbreak. The law requires that the SBA release simplified forms within the first 24 hours after the bill’s passage into law. This was to facilitate the application for forgiveness. Additionally, it included conditions to encourage banks in the community to lend more particularly to minority-owned businesses who were unable to obtain loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release the single-page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of enactment of 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 issued more updated forms.”
