HomeCOVID-19 Penalty and Interest Relief
Are You Ready for the July 10 Deadline?
Tue, May 12, 2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ET
Join the VBA Taxation Section and Kostelanetz attorneys Karen Kelly and Mike Waalkes for insights on the fast-approaching July 10 deadline.
Karen and Mike will discuss how two recent cases, Kwong and Abdo, suggest that IRS filing deadlines, penalties and interest were tolled during the entire declared COVID-19 federal emergency—which extended 39 months from January 2020 through July 10, 2023. This creates many potential opportunities for taxpayers, including the opportunity to seek substantial interest refunds and penalty relief from the IRS.
What you'll take away from this presentation:
- The legal, statutory, and regulatory framework that set up the tolling relief through IRC section 7508A
- Practical steps tax practitioners need to take in the next two months to raise and preserve the legal ground for relief for their clients
This webinar is open to all Virginia legal and tax professionals. No CLE credit is associated with this presentation.
