IRS Denies COVID Tax Refunds But Advocates Urge Action
The IRS is issuing letters denying COVID-era tax refunds following a recent court ruling. However, the National Taxpayer Advocate urges taxpayers not to give up, noting that appeals are ongoing and rights can still be preserved.
The United States IRS has begun issuing denial letters for COVID-era tax claims, but officials warn taxpayers should not abandon their refund appeals. The ongoing dispute follows a federal court ruling suggesting tax deadlines were automatically suspended during the pandemic disaster period. Tens of millions of taxpayers could be impacted by the rulings, though the government is actively appealing the decision.
