Did you pay penalties or interest on taxes filed or paid late in the 2019, 2020, 2021 or 2022 tax years? You may be eligible for a refund.

Did you pay late payment penalties, late filing penalties or late payment interest on your 2019, 2020, 2021 and/or 2022 tax returns? If so, you may be entitled to a refund of the penalties and/or interest. A federal court case has recently been decided in the lower level courts decided in favor of the taxpayers, Kwong vs United States,  where it was held that taxpayers could not be penalized for late filings or late payments during this extended 3.5-year window that was in place during the Covid 19 pandemic.  In order to preserve your right to a refund, a protective claim needs to be filed in the next few weeks while this case is under appeal. Late filing penalties, late payment penalties and late payment interest all have the potential of being refunded if you paid any on your 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 tax returns, or are still disputing them for another reason. Contact us and I'll take a look at your transcripts for those years to see if it is worth filing a protective refund claim for a fixed fee plus postage. The consultation is free and there will no fee charged if I determine it is not worth filing a claim. Get in touch with me as soon as possible - the deadline for filing these protective claims is next month!
