The Kwong v. US Ruling

On November 25, 2025, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims ruled in Kwong v. United States that Internal Revenue Code Section 7508A(d) required mandatory postponement of federal tax deadlines during the COVID-19 national disaster period. The court found the IRS lacked authority to assess failure-to-file penalties, failure-to-pay penalties, and underpayment interest on obligations due between January 20, 2020, and July 10, 2023.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Form 843?

IRS Form 843 is the official form for requesting a refund or abatement of certain taxes, penalties, or interest. TaxClaim Pro generates this form from your client data so you can print it, sign it, and mail it to the IRS.

What is the Kwong v. US ruling?

Kwong v. United States is a court ruling that enables penalty challenges for IRS penalties assessed between January 2020 and July 2023. The window for filing under this ruling closes in July 2026.

Does TaxClaim Pro file the form with the IRS?

No. TaxClaim Pro generates the completed Form 843. You review the form, your client signs it, and you mail it to the IRS at the address provided. We do not file on your behalf.

Can I use this with IRS transcripts?

Yes. Professional and Firm tiers include direct integration with Tax Transcript AI (TTMP) — parse a transcript and the penalty data auto-populates into Form 843. Starter tier users enter data manually.

What happens after July 2026?
