π’ URGENT TAXPAYER ADVISORY: Refund Deadline - July 10, 2026
At Tactical Taxes Etc, we want to ensure you aren't among the millions who might miss out on COVID-era refunds due to a lack of information. A major court ruling (Kwong v. United States) has opened the door for taxpayers to reclaim penalties and interest paid during the pandemic.
π¨ The Situation
The court found that tax deadlines were automatically postponed from January 20, 2020, to July 10, 2023. If you were charged penalties or interest for "late" returns or payments during this window, you may be legally entitled to that money back.
π° What Can Be Refunded?
You may be entitled to a refund or abatement for:
-Failure-to-file or failure-to-pay penalties.
-Estimated tax penalties.
-Interest that accrued earlier than it should have.
π How to Act (The "Tactical" Way)
To protect your rights while the legal process continues, we recommend filing a Protective Refund Claim
immediately:
1. Form 843:Use this specific form to request your refund.
2. Label It: Write "Protective Refund Claim Pursuant to Kwong Case" clearly at the top.
3. Mail It Right: The IRS requires paper filing. Send it via Certified Mail with a Return Receipt so you have legal proof of your submission.
The CLOCK β° IS TICKING.
Unless Congress acts, most taxpayers must have these claims filed by July 10, 2026.
