Right now, the IRS is sitting on thousands of dollars that legally belong to you from the pandemic years… and in just 56 days that money could be gone forever.

🚨 July 10, 2026 is 56 days away, and for many taxpayers, it’s the last day to recover money the IRS legally owes them.

Clients carrying years of unnecessary failure-to-pay penalties and underpayment interest that should have been zeroed out under clear statutory language.

Business owners who overpaid during the chaos of 2020–2021 and are now at risk of losing that money forever.

Practitioners who are unknowingly letting viable claims expire because the nuance between the refund clock and the abatement clock isn’t obvious.
This isn’t theory. The courts (including Kwong v. United States) have already spoken. The law is on the taxpayer’s side, but only if we act.

If you’re a business owner or taxpayer who suspects you may have left money on the table from the pandemic years, give us a call 1-866-907-1845 to set up a consultation.

If the IRS has filed a Substitute for Return (SFR) on your behalf, you’re probably staring at a tax bill that feels impossible.
I get the panic. I’ve sat across from executives, small business owners, and individuals who felt the exact same way.

Here’s what’s actually happening (and why it hurts so much):

- IRC §6020(b) gives the IRS the power to file a return without your consent.

- IRM 5.18.1 is explicit: they use third-party income reports but refuse to include any of your deductions, credits, or exemptions.

- Under IRM 4.12.1, you are now treated as an audited taxpayer — without ever having the chance to present your side.

- And Policy Statement P-5-133 means they will normally enforce collection for the most recent six years.

The result is almost always an inflated assessment that bears no resemblance to your real tax liability.

I focused exclusively on tax controversy, I’ve helped hundreds of clients in this exact situation file the correct returns, challenge the SFR, and dramatically reduce — or even eliminate — the debt.

The window to fix this is narrow. Every day you wait makes the IRS’s position stronger.

If you (or someone you know) just received an SFR notice, reach out immediately.

Call my team at 1-866-907-1845 or send me a direct message.
I’ll personally make sure you get the guidance you need — no sales pitch, just real solutions from someone who has fought the IRS on this exact issue for years.

You’re not alone in this. Let’s get it resolved.

July 10, 2026 is the HARD deadline for COVID-era refund claims under I.R.C. § 6511(a) + former § 7508A(d).

As a Tax Controversy Advisor who has spent the last decade in tax controversy, this is one of the most important articles published on pandemic-era relief.

Here’s the bottom line:

- July 10, 2026 is the final day to file a timely refund claim riding the three-year arm of I.R.C. § 6511(a) for returns whose due dates were postponed under former § 7508A(d).

- The 1,268-day disaster period (Jan 20, 2020 – July 10, 2023) is about to become irrelevant for refund purposes on those claims.

- But abatement requests for assessed-but-unpaid balances, CDP verification challenges under § 6330(c)(1), post-window two-year payment claims, and § 6404(e) ministerial-delay relief all survive.

If you the taxpayer still carry pandemic-era interest, failure-to-pay penalties, or overpaid estimated taxes from 2019–2022 returns, the next 73 days are critical.

I’m offering a limited number of consultations § 7508A(d) Deadline Reviews through July 10. We’ll pull transcripts, map every open clock, and build a precise action plan.

If you’re a business owner, or taxpayer who wants to make sure you’re not leaving money on the table because of a misunderstood deadline, comment “REVIEW”, send me a direct message or give us a call 1-866-907-1845 for a consultation.

Let’s protect what the tax code already says is yours.

🚨 Warning: Your Passport Could Be at Risk in 2026! 🚨

Your passport could be denied before you even pack — and most people never see it coming. I've helped countless clients to avoid IRS pitfalls like passport revocation under IRC §7345. If you owe more than $66,000 in seriously delinquent tax debt, the IRS can certify it to the State Department—potentially denying or revoking your passport.
Swipe through this carousel to learn the essentials: What triggers it, exceptions, reversal strategies, and how to protect your travel freedom. Knowledge is your best defense.

Because here’s the truth: the earlier you address a balance due, the more options you have. Waiting until the passport notice arrives is playing defense with your freedom.
If you travel internationally for business or family, or you simply want to protect your ability to move freely, this is one tax rule you cannot ignore.

Your next trip shouldn’t depend on an old tax debt.

Let’s keep you flying.

Short-Term Rentals—Careful Here 🏡
In today's world, being the first to deliver news is crucial for achieving viral status on social media. Unfortunately, there is so much misinformation on Short-term Rentals because “TikTok Tax Gurus” or “IG Tax Bros” oversimplify a very complex tax strategy. This results in a significant increase in audits.

Let’s start by establishing what Short-Term Rentals are.
Short-term rentals are accommodations that are rented out for brief periods, typically ranging from a single night to a few weeks. These rentals can include various types of properties such as apartments, houses, condos, and even unique spaces like treehouses or yurts. Popularized by platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo, short-term rentals offer an alternative to traditional hotels, often providing more space, amenities, and a home-like experience. One thing, I want to point out is that there is nothing in the tax code with the word “Short-Term Rental”.

Now, we move on with Internal Revenue Code Section 469 1 📑
A wide overview of section 469 defines what passive activities are, limits how much you can deduct losses and credits from "passive activities" in a given year. These are activities where you don't materially participate, like rental properties. Generally, losses can't offset your other income, but there are exceptions.

We have to analyze two parts of this code section:
• Reg. Section 1.469-1T(e)(3)(ii)(A) 2 📑
The average period of customer use for such property is seven days or less
So, if you own a rental property for which the average rental period is seven days or less for the year, your rental activities are considered non-passive.
• Reg. Section 1.469-5T(a) Material participation
There are seven material participation test3 📑
, but you only need to meet one of the seven tests to substantiate that you’ve reached that level.

Once you have met these 2 criteria, it is by definition your rental activities are non-passive and you can use the losses generated from your Short-Term Rental and you are no longer subject to passive loss limit4 📑

So, you might think how Cost Segregation can turn my rental into a cash cow? You’re probably thinking it’s too good to be true.
Well, it isn’t! You can get this cash infusion with a cost segregation study on your rental property thanks to tax reform. By accelerating your depreciation deductions, you will supercharge your rental losses and put more after-tax cash in your pocket today.

🚨 Tax Court Memo 2026-3 Just Dropped: A Wake-Up Call for Business Owners on §6672 Trust Fund Recovery Penalties! 🚨

Imagine this: You're the sole owner of your company, grinding day in and day out. Cash flow gets tight, and payroll taxes slip through the cracks. Suddenly, the IRS comes knocking—not at your business door, but yours personally. That's the harsh reality reinforced in Todd A. Crawford v. Commissioner (T.C. Memo 2026-3), released January 2026. With 10+ years battling IRS controversies, I've seen this nightmare unfold too many times. Let's break it down so you can protect yourself.

The Case Summary: Todd Crawford, sole owner and officer of his company, faced IRS assessment of the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP) under IRC §6672 for unpaid payroll taxes in the quarter ending September 30, 2018. These "trust fund" taxes—employee withholdings for income, Social Security, and Medicare—are held in trust for the government per §§3102 and 3402. Crawford challenged via Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing, alleging procedural flaws. The Tax Court, however, upheld the IRS's actions, granting summary judgment to the Commissioner. No abuse of discretion found—the administrative record was airtight.

Key Takeaways Connecting to Your World:

- Sole Owners Are Prime Targets: If you wear all hats, §6672 pierces the corporate veil. I've represented owners who thought LLCs shielded them—wrong. Personal assets are at risk for 100% of unpaid trust funds.

- CDP: Process Over Substance: Don't bank on CDP for a fresh start. As the memo states, courts defer to IRS when records are solid, and payroll cases rarely aren't.

- Payroll Taxes Aren't Optional: They're the government's money. Willful non-payment? Personal liability. In my practice, early segregation of funds has saved clients thousands.

This isn't theory—it's unforgiving code in action. As your trusted advisor at Metrotax Modern Accountants & Advisors, I've navigated these waters, turning potential disasters into resolutions through appeals and OICs.

Today, we're diving into a critical topic: the three main situations that can lead to IRS liens and levies.

Why does this matter? Liens and levies aren't just bureaucratic jargon—they can overturn your financial life, seizing assets you've worked hard to build and damaging your credit for years. But here's the good news: knowledge is power.

By understanding the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) sections that govern these actions, you can take proactive steps to protect yourself. We'll emphasize key tax codes like IRC §6321 for liens and §6331 for levies, and I'll share real-world stories to make this personal. Let's connect on a deeper level: I've seen the stress this causes—sleepless nights, strained relationships—and I want to equip you with the tools to avoid it.

A federal tax lien is essentially the IRS's legal claim on your property when you owe unpaid taxes. Under IRC §6321, this lien arises automatically if you neglect or refuse to pay a tax after the IRS assesses it and sends a notice and demand for payment. It attaches to all your assets—real estate, cars, bank accounts, even future property you acquire. But it's the filing of the Notice of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL) under IRC §6323 that makes it public, alerting creditors and potentially tanking your credit score. Think of it as a silent alarm on your financial life; it doesn't take anything yet, but it secures the IRS's position.
A levy, on the other hand, is the IRS's enforcement muscle. Per IRC §6331, if you don't pay within 10 days of notice and demand, the IRS can seize and sell your property to collect the debt. This includes wages, bank accounts, retirement funds, or even your home in extreme cases. The key difference? A lien claims; a levy takes.

Preventive tips: File on time, communicate early, and seek help. If you're in this now, schedule a consultation 1-866-907-1845—don't go it alone. I've turned around worse cases, and you can too.
