The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form designed to make it easier for applicants to complete the application process for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, as well as newly updated and revised forms that conform to the requirements of the most recent stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief plan last month and included $284 billion of financing to small businesses in need of loans. This money was used to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The law required that the SBA provide simplified forms within the first 24 hours of the legislation’s signing into law. This was to make it easier to apply for forgiveness. It also included conditions to encourage community banks to lend more specifically to minority-owned companies who were unable to obtain loans in the past.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release 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 published more updated forms.”
