Kwong & Abdo: Recovering Pandemic-Era Tax Penalties and Interest
This Program Teaches You How to Turn COVID-Era IRS Payments Into Refund Claims
Two landmark decisions — Kwong v. United States (2025) and Abdo v. Commissioner (2024) — have fundamentally changed the treatment of federal tax penalties and interest during the COVID-19 disaster period.
The takeaway is simple, but powerful:
From January 20, 2020 through July 10, 2023, federal tax penalties and interest were mandatorily suspended under IRC § 7508A(d). That means many taxpayers overpaid — and those amounts may now be recoverable.
The clock is ticking:
For most taxpayers, the refund claim deadline is July 10, 2026.
If you represent clients who paid penalties or interest during this period, this is not optional knowledge — it is an actionable opportunity.
What You Will Learn
This program provides a complete, practitioner-ready framework to:
- Identify clients eligible for penalty and interest refunds
- Apply the holdings of Kwong and Abdo with confidence
- Compute refund amounts using IRS transcripts and AI tools
- Prepare and file Form 843 claims correctly and defensibly
-Navigate examination, appeals, CDP, and Tax Court implications
-Incorporate advanced strategies including:
- IRC § 6404(e) interest abatement
- § 6603 deposits to stop interest accrual
- Overpayment interest claims under the Fleisher theory
- Address multi-year and cumulative claims strategies
- Evaluate state-level considerations (including NY and NJ)
What Makes This Program Different: This is not a theoretical discussion. This is a complete implementation system.
Attendees receive a fully developed toolkit that takes them from: “I think this applies” → “I filed the claim.”
