The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a form of one page that makes it easier to apply for the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. It also includes newly revised forms to comply with the latest stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 aid package Congress approved last month renewed the PPP with $284 billion in funds for small businesses that want forgiven loans to help to deal with the effects of economic collapse from the coronavirus outbreak. It included a requirement for the SBA to issue streamlined forms within the first 24 hours of the legislation being adopted to make the process of applying for forgiveness, along with conditions designed to facilitate more bank loans by community banks, specifically for minority-owned businesses who were unable to obtain loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirement of releasing the one page form for the forgiveness of PPP loans 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 published updated forms.”
