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. It also includes newly revised 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 in funding for small businesses seeking forgiveness loans to help them cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak. The package also mandated the SBA to issue streamlined forms within 24 hours of the legislation being adopted to make the procedure of applying for forgiveness, along with conditions designed to facilitate more loans from community banks, particularly for minority-owned businesses who struggled to get loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs stated that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to issue the PPP form, which is one page long, for loan forgiveness within the first 24 hours of the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. The article was posted on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also issued the updated forms.”
