The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a form of one page that simplifies the application for the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. The form also contains newly updated forms that comply with the most recent stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief plan last month that included $284 billion of financing to small businesses in need of loans. The funds were used to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus outbreak. The package also mandated the SBA to issue streamlined forms within 24 days after the legislation was approved by the lawmaker to streamline the application process for forgiveness, along with conditions meant to encourage more bank loans by community banks, especially for minority-owned businesses that were unable to obtain 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 enactment 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 published more updated forms.”
