The U.S. Small Business Administration issued a one-page application form designed to make it easier for applicants to complete the application process for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, as well as newly updated and revised forms to comply with the most recent stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package last month, which offered $284 billion in funding to small businesses that needed loans. This money was used to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus outbreak. It also included a requirement that the SBA to issue simplified forms within 24 hours of the legislation being adopted to make the procedure of applying for forgiveness, along with conditions that aim to increase the number of loans from community banks, especially for minority-owned businesses that struggled to get loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs said that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to issue the one-page PPP form loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of enactment under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. This was on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also issued new forms that were updated.”
