Hiding in Plain Sight: Disaster Refunds After Abdo and Kwong | June 23, 2026 @ 3 PM - 4 PM ET

The clock is running. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the country was a disaster area, literally, and that means nearly every practitioner has clients potentially entitled to refunds of penalties and interest under Section 7508A(d). For many, the window to file a refund claim closes on July 10, 2026. This session walks through the 2019 statute, regulations, and how the judiciary’s reasoning has evolved from Abdo through Kwong, then turns to the practical mechanics of preserving claims, including variance doctrine traps. It will close with a look at the active litigation shaping where this area is headed.
