If the IRS hit you with penalties between 2020–2023, READ THIS.
A federal court just ruled those penalties and interest may have been wrongfully assessed…
AND you have until July 10, 2026 to claim your money back.
The case is Kwong v. United States (Nov. 2025, U.S. Court of Federal Claims).
Because COVID-19 was a federally declared disaster, the law (IRC § 7508A) required the IRS to automatically postpone federal tax deadlines from January 20, 2020 through July 10, 2023 a full 3.5 years.
The IRS didn't fully honor that.
They kept charging:
Failure-to-file penalties + Failure-to-pay penalties + Estimated tax penalties + Interest
That shouldn't have been accruing!
The National Taxpayer Advocate says tens of millions of taxpayers may be owed refunds or abatements. Most have no idea.
Here's the catch nobody's talking about:
You have to file a Protective Refund Claim on Form 843 with the IRS — by July 10, 2026 — to lock in your right to that refund while the case works through appeals.
If you miss the deadline the opportunity to submit a refund claim is gone forever, even if the courts ultimately rule in taxpayers' favor.
This affects individuals, small businesses, large corporations, estates, trusts, and nonprofits. Income tax, employment tax, estate, gift, excise — even international information return penalties.
⏰ You have less than 60 days left to act.

The IRS isn't going to call you. The only way people find out about this is if we tell them.
