Kwong COVID Penalty Review

A time-sensitive review of COVID-era penalty positions in light of evolving tax authority developments — evaluate before the window narrows.

The Business Problem

COVID-era penalty positions are being re-examined in light of newer authority.

Many businesses paid failure-to-deposit, late-filing, and late-payment penalties assessed during the COVID period without engaging their reasonable-cause posture.

Evolving guidance and case developments have re-opened the analysis for a defined universe of taxpayers. The review window is not indefinite.

How Tax Relief Exchange Helps

A marketplace, not a firm

We identify opportunities, then privately connect businesses to the right independent professional.

  1. Step 1

    We match you with a professional evaluating COVID-era penalty positions under current authority.

  2. Step 2

    The professional reviews the specific periods, penalty types, and documentation available.

  3. Step 3

    If the fact pattern fits, they prepare and pursue the appropriate refund or abatement claim.

  4. Step 4

    Tax Relief Exchange does not provide tax or legal advice. Outcomes are not guaranteed.

Why Timing Matters

Refund and abatement statutes don't wait for the analysis to mature.

Refund claims for previously paid penalties are constrained by strict statutory windows — generally three years from filing or two years from payment.

As each quarter passes, additional COVID-era periods fall outside the refund window entirely.
