ERC Refund in 2026

If your ERC refund finally showed up this year, congratulations; the IRS has excellent patience and terrible timing. Current guidance says to report it as income in the year you received it. Some tax pros think that guidance might not survive a court challenge, so it's worth filing a protective refund claim after you report it. Belt, suspenders, refund preserved.

Personal finance is only 20% head knowledge, 80% is behavior. 💭

Most of us already know what we're "supposed" to do with money. Save more. Spend less. Don't ignore the IRS letter sitting on the counter. The hard part was never the knowledge... it's the follow-through.

The same goes for taxes. Knowing you owe the IRS is one thing. Actually picking up the phone and dealing with it? That's the 80%.

If there's a tax problem you've been meaning to face, today's a good day to take the first step. 👇

Quick heads up if you had any run-ins with IRS penalties or interest during the pandemic years (2020-2023).

A recent court decision found that a lot of tax deadlines during that period were automatically extended, and the IRS wasn't applying that. That could mean refunds or penalty relief for some people.

The IRS is expected to challenge this decision, and it could still be narrowed or overturned on appeal, so nothing's guaranteed. But if you don't file a protective claim by July 10, you lose the chance to benefit if the ruling holds. Worth checking your transcripts either way.
