\nTaxpayers Can Quickly, Easily Check Eligibility; Apply For IRS Refund Before July 10 Deadline<\/b><\/p><\/a><\/a>

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#BackTaxes<\/a>--To help taxpayers who paid interest and penalties during the pandemic, Frost Law has a special web page<\/a> to help people quickly see if they qualify for a potential Internal Revenue Service refund following the Kwong court case.<\/p>

\nThe new tool provides taxpayers with a free way to quickly check their eligibility for a tax refund or abatement if they paid interest or penalties to the IRS between 2020 and 2023. For those who qualify, the Frost website will outline steps for taxpayers to take if they want to pursue a claim before the July 10 deadline.<\/p>

\n\u201cPeople may be overlooking an unusual opportunity for businesses and average taxpayers to potentially obtain refunds from the IRS,\u201d said Glen Frost, the firm\u2019s Founding Partner. \u201cGiven the complexities involved, our firm wanted to make it as easy as possible for taxpayers to see if they\u2019re eligible for a refund and help them decide if it\u2019s worth pursuing an IRS claim.\u201d<\/p>

\nFrost Law, headquartered in metropolitan Washington, D.C., works with clients across the nation. The firm\u2019s attorneys have been active on the Kwong pandemic-era refund issues, with the team being quoted in publications including the Wall Street Journal, <\/i>the New York Times, <\/i>the Associated Press<\/i> and USA Today<\/i>.<\/p>

\nKwong<\/i> Court Case Could Mean Billions of Potential Refunds<\/b><\/p>

\nFollowing last fall\u2019s Kwong v. United States<\/i> decision, millions of taxpayers that paid IRS penalties or interest during the 2020-2023 pandemic period could be owed a tax refund or abatement.<\/p>

\nThe implications of the decision are far-reaching. There are more than a dozen IRS areas<\/a> where people paid interest or penalties. Frost encourages taxpayers and tax professionals to review their records to see if they qualify, and the firm\u2019s new website tool<\/a> makes it easier to check eligibility.<\/p>

\nGroups potentially eligible for a refund range from individual taxpayers and small businesses to corporations and partnerships as well as people with international tax requirements or Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs).<\/p>

\nBillions of dollars of refunds are at stake. While the amounts will vary widely, tax refunds or abatements could be substantial in some cases, particularly for businesses and taxpayers with substantial failure-to-pay penalties. But time is running out. Affected taxpayers should review their situation and consider filing IRS Form 843, Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement, by July 10, 2026, to protect their rights. The Frost website tool simplifies the process even further.<\/p>

\nIRS Appealing The Kwong Decision, But Taxpayers Still Must File Claims By July 10 To Protect Potential Refunds<\/b><\/p>

\nLast fall, the Court of Federal Claims decided in Kwong <\/i>that there was a mandatory suspension of tax deadlines during the pandemic period. This suspension covered from January 20, 2020, through July 10, 2023. The court held that the IRS was not permitted to assess interest or penalties for obligations occurring during this window tied to COVID-19 disaster declarations. The case raised the possibility for other taxpayers to have previously paid penalties refunded or unpaid assessments abated.<\/p>

\nThe IRS recently decided to appeal the Kwong case. While the case remains in the courts, the deadline to file claims still remains July 10.<\/p>

\n\u201cWhile this case may take years to resolve, taxpayers may ultimately still be entitled to a refund,\u201d Frost said. \u201cBut they\u2019re only eligible if they submit a claim before the July deadline. We continue urging people to quickly check their eligibility and see if it\u2019s worth pursuing.\u201d<\/p>
