Kwong Decision - IRS Penalty & Interest Abatement

You may have recently heard about the Kwong Decision and the potential impact it may have on penalty relief claims with the IRS. Our office is continuing to monitor developments and guidance related to this matter as additional information becomes available.

At this time, guidance and implementation procedures surrounding this decision continue to evolve. While this ruling may create opportunities for some taxpayers, many questions remain regarding procedures, processing and supporting documentation.

If you believe you may benefit from the Kwong Decision, our office can assist in preparing and filing the necessary forms by July 10, 2026, to help preserve any rights you may have under the current litigation.

🚨 YES A TAX RETURN CAN LEGALLY COST $1,000+
🚨 NO THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT A SCAM

Before the internet gets loud and wrong, let’s be clear 📢

🧾 The IRS does NOT cap tax preparation fees
❌ There is no law saying a return must cost $200, $300, or what someone else paid

💡 Tax preparation fees are based on:
📌 Complexity of the return
⏱️ Time required
⚠️ Risk assumed
🎓 Experience & expertise
🏢 Business / self-employment filings
💳 Credits claimed
📋 Compliance & due diligence
🔍 Audit exposure
🛡️ Legal liability the preparer takes on

👉🏽 A basic W-2 with no dependents ≠
👉🏽 Multiple incomes, self-employment, credit eligibility, reconciliations, transcripts, and compliance reviews

⚠️ The same people questioning professional fees
are often the first ones panicking when:
🚩 The IRS audits the return
⏸️ Refunds are frozen or delayed
↩️ Credits are reversed
💸 Or thousands are owed back

💬 Low-cost preparation often leads to high-cost problems

📌 You’re not paying for a number on a screen
You’re paying for:
✅ Accuracy
📑 Documentation
📏 Compliance
🧠 Experience
📬 And a preparer who stands behind the work when IRS letters show up

💎 All returns are NOT the same
💎 All preparers are NOT equal
💎 And all money is NOT good money

If you’re looking for cheap there are options
If you’re looking for CORRECT choose wisely ✨

🎯 Education over drama
🎯 Facts over feelings
