There's an IRS refund deadline coming that almost no one is talking about, and once it passes, it's gone for good.
During the COVID disaster period, two recent federal court decisions—Kwong and Abdo—found the IRS may have overcharged interest and certain penalties.
If you owed the IRS anywhere from 2019 through 2022 and paid interest or late-payment penalties, you may be able to claim some of it back. But the window to file closes July 10, 2026, and the fix Congress passed going forward isn't retroactive, so it doesn't reopen.
I'll be straight with you: this is still developing law, the IRS is contesting these claims, and no refund is guaranteed. Anyone promising "guaranteed money" is someone to walk away from.
What I can do is pull your actual IRS transcripts and tell you honestly whether there's a claim worth filing.
I recorded four short videos that walk through it, plain and simple:

If you carried an IRS balance during those years, don't guess.
