The U.S. Small Business Administration has released a single-page form designed to make it easier for applicants to complete the process of applying for forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, together with revised and updated forms to meet the requirements of the latest stimulus legislation.
The COVID-19 relief plan that Congress approved last month renewed the PPP with $284 billion in financing for small-scale businesses looking for forgiveness loans to help them cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. The law required that the SBA issue simplified forms within the first 24 hours after the bill’s passage into law. This was to facilitate the application for forgiveness. The legislation also contained conditions that would encourage community banks to lend more particularly to minority-owned businesses that had difficulty getting loans last year.
“The Small Business Administration met the requirements to release the single-page form for the forgiveness of PPP loans within 24 days of the date of enactment the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021,” wrote Ed Zollars, a partner at Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs on his Current Federal Tax Developments blog for Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also published updated forms.”
