On October 8th, 2020 the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) released a simpler loan forgiveness application for Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans of $50,000 or less. The SBA is hoping this simpler forgiveness process will help the countries smallest businesses who were impacted by COVID-19 by removing some of the red tape around forgiveness.
Many loan recipients are anxious to submit an application for forgiveness, especially if it seems apparent on the surface that 100% forgiveness will be obtained. However, the decision to apply for forgiveness is not one to be done in haste. The consequences could include an unexpected reduction in the forgiveness amount as well as an administrative burden with the application that may be avoidable.
The new law follows the May 22, 2020, release of an interim final rule from the SBA on PPP loan forgiveness requirements. Among other areas, that guidance addresses the calculation of full-time employees and total salary or wages for purposes of loan forgiveness reductions.
On Friday, May 15, 2020 the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Department of the Treasury released the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan Forgiveness Application and instructions for the application.

No matter the status of your not-for-profit, it’s important to keep up with legislation responding to the COVID-19 crisis.
If you have not yet received your Economic Stimulus Payment, you may want to open all envelopes right now, and be extra careful in deciding what to keep and what to toss. For those in this last wave of payments – be on the lookout for a very unassuming and unlabeled envelope arriving at your home.
The payments, also referred to by some as stimulus payments, are automatic for most taxpayers. No further action is needed by taxpayers who filed tax returns in 2018 and 2019 and most seniors and retirees.
