The U.S. Small Business Administration has issued a one-page form that makes it easier to apply for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans. It also includes newly revised forms that are in line with the current stimulus law.
The COVID-19 relief package that Congress passed last month revived the PPP with $284 billion in funds for small businesses that want forgiveness loans to help them deal with the financial fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. The legislation required that the SBA issue simplified forms within 24 hours of the legislation’s signing into law. This is to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions to encourage community banks to lend more particularly to minority-owned businesses that had difficulty getting loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs and wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to issue the one-page form for PPP loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of enactment under 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 additional updated forms.”
