The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a one-page form that simplifies the application for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form also contains newly updated forms that are in line with the latest stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 aid package Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion of funding for small businesses seeking forgiveness loans to help them cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak. It also included a requirement that the SBA to issue simplified forms within 24 days after the legislation was approved by the lawmaker to streamline the process of applying for forgiveness. It also included conditions that aim to increase the number of loans from community banks, especially for minority-owned businesses who struggled to get loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement to issue the one page form for PPP loan forgiveness by 24 days after 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 released new forms that were updated.”
