The U.S. Small Business Administration issued a one-page application form designed to make it easier for applicants to complete the process of applying for the forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, together with updated and revised forms that conform to the requirements of the most recent stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package last month and provided $284 billion of funding to small businesses in need of loans. The funds were used to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus epidemic. The law required that the SBA release simplified forms within 24 hours of the signing into law. This was to facilitate the application for forgiveness. Additionally, it included conditions to encourage community banks to make more loans specifically to minority-owned companies who were unable to obtain loans in the past.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs, wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to publish the one-page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. This was on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also released more updated forms.”
