COVID IRS PENALTIES
COULD MEAN MONEY BACK

The IRS may have improperly charged penalties during the COVID years — and you could qualify for a refund 👀

But time is limited. Form 843 may need to be filed before July 10, 2026.

DM “COVID REFUND” to see if you qualify with MTM Tax Services.

Don’t miss this… because it can save you penalties.

The tax deadline is April 15, 2026
But here’s what most people DON’T know

If your return gets rejected… you STILL have time.

10 days to fix a rejected return
5 days to fix an extension
Still counts as ON TIME if accepted within that window

Translation: You’re not out… but you can’t wait.

Waiting on your refund?

The IRS is delaying returns for fraud checks, reviews, and backlogs.

“Up to 180 days” is the MAX—not the norm.

Need help? 770-276-9795

If you owe state taxes, student loans, or other debts, the government can take your refund before it ever hits your account.

No warning. No deposit. Just… gone.

📢 Need a Copy of Your Tax Return? Here’s What to Do.

If your previous tax preparer is not providing you with a copy of your filed tax return, don’t panic — you still have options.

You can request your tax return directly from the IRS using Form 4506 – Request for Copy of Tax Return.

Here’s what you should know:

✅ Form 4506 allows you to request a full copy of your previously filed tax return.
📬 The IRS will mail the copy directly to you.
💵 There is a fee charged by the IRS for each year requested (currently $43 per return).
⏳ Processing can take several weeks.

If you do not need a full copy and only need income verification, you may request a free transcript instead using Form 4506-T or by visiting IRS.gov and using the “Get Transcript” tool.

🔎 When might you need Form 4506? • Mortgage applications
• Financial aid verification
• Legal matters
• When a preparer will not release your return
• Rebuilding personal tax records

Remember — you have a right to access your own tax records.

If you need help completing Form 4506 or determining which option is best for you, feel free to message us.

Facts

The average tax refund has jumped to $2,290, despite fewer people filing returns in the early weeks of tax season. 🔗 ⬇️

📢 PATH ACT REFUND UPDATE (EITC & ACTC Filers)

If you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), your refund is subject to the federal PATH Act hold.

What does that mean?

By law, the IRS cannot release these refunds before mid-February — even if you filed early.

🗓 PATH Act Timeline

✔ IRS begins accepting returns: Late January
✔ PATH Act hold lifts: Around February 15
✔ Refunds begin processing for release: Shortly after February 15
✔ Most direct deposits appear: Late February into early March

⚠️ Remember: “Where’s My Refund” may update before funds hit your bank. Processing times depend on: • Direct deposit vs. check
• Bank processing times
• Accuracy of return
• IRS verification reviews

This delay is not an audit. It is a federally mandated fraud prevention measure under the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act.

If you claimed EITC or ACTC, patience is part of the process.
