The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a one-page form that simplifies the application for the cancellation of Paycheck Protection Program loans. It also includes newly revised forms that comply with the latest stimulus law.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package last month and included $284 billion of financing to small businesses that needed loans. The money was intended to reduce the economic burden of the coronavirus pandemic. The legislation required that the SBA provide simplified forms within 24 hours of the signing into law. This was to facilitate the application for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions that would encourage banks in the community to lend more, especially to minority-owned businesses who were unable to obtain loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release the single-page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 hours of 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 issued more updated forms.”
