IRS Penalties Reversed? With Kenny Dettman

A recent court ruling could unlock major refunds for taxpayers – but the clock is ticking. In this episode, Eric Green sits down with Kenny Dettman to break down the massive implications of the Kwong and Abdo decisions, as well as why they could mean widespread penalty and interest abatements tied to the COVID-era IRS shutdown period.
At the center of it all? The IRS’s handling of IRC §7508A during the federally declared disaster window from 2020 through mid-2023. According to recent rulings, deadlines may have been suspended, potentially invalidating penalties and interest assessed during that time. But here’s the catch: the deadline to act is July 11, 2026. They also discuss scalable solutions, including new tools designed to automate transcript retrieval, calculations, and filings, giving both taxpayers and practitioners a way to act before time runs out.
Whether you’re a tax professional or a taxpayer, this is one of those “don’t miss it” moments. Because come July 12… the opportunity may be gone for good. Tune in now and make sure you’re not the one saying, “Why didn’t I know about this?”
