IRS Penalty Refund Services
Recover IRS penalties and interest you may have paid during COVID.
Thousands of businesses and individuals paid IRS penalties and interest during the COVID disaster period. A recent federal court ruling in Kwong v. United States determined that many of those charges may have been assessed incorrectly.
If you paid IRS penalties or underpayment interest between 2020 and 2023, you may be eligible to recover those funds.
July 10, 2026
Claims must be filed before this deadline. After that date, the opportunity may be permanently lost.
What Is the Kwong Decision?
A time-sensitive refund opportunity for qualifying taxpayers.
In November 2025, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims ruled that IRS disaster relief deadlines should have remained suspended throughout the COVID disaster period.
As a result, many taxpayers who were charged certain penalties or interest may now be entitled to refunds or removal of remaining balances.
Charges that may qualify:
- Failure-to-file penalties
- Failure-to-pay penalties
- IRS underpayment interest
- Remaining balances tied to qualifying penalties or interest
