Taxpayers who owe the IRS interest or certain penalties for taxes due between January 20, 2020 and July 10, 2023 might be eligible for tax relief based on a recent court decision but might require taxpayers to mail the IRS claims (IRS Form 843) by July 10, 2026. For more information, see the four-part blog series by the IRS National Taxpayer Advocate (Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV).
Why does July 10, 2023 matter? The law says that taxpayers must file refund claims within the later of 3 years of filing the tax return or 2 years from paying the tax. The 3-year extension period for acts due during the COVID disaster ends on July 10, 2026.
Anyone attending this free event will need to provide a form of contact (phone #, email, etc) and a form of ID. A transcript (downloaded from IRS online account for Individuals) is helpful, but is not required.
See the Free Tax Help Event Flyer for more information.
