I'll save everybody else 120s: if you didn't get penalized for filing your taxes late during covid, move on.
MilnerRoute•1h ago
It's not just if you filed late. It also says payments "due any time within that window were not late until after July 10, 2023."

So for example, if you were a contractor who paid your taxes on April 15 (rather than making quarterly payments).

> The IRS should quickly develop a means to allow taxpayers to file their claims electronically and implement it immediately. The IRS and taxpayers do not need paper Forms 843 clogging up the system.

I can't tell if this is trying to seem fake.

Seriously. This reads like self-promotion of a bad YouTube channel or something. It's amateurish, full of self-aggrandizement and opinions. This has no place coming from our gov't.

What seems fake about it?

> Without IRS or congressional action, outcomes may unfairly favor the “well advised” over the “unaware.”

Part of the governments job should be to make sure those with expensive advisors do not end up much better off than those who do their own taxes with little knowledge of tax law.

The purpose of taxes is not to tax the dumb extra.

I have a vague recollection of being charged a penalty I didn't agree with and arguing with the IRS about it during the pandemic.

I couldn't tell you what or how much it was for now though.
