Take Advantage of the Pandemic Penalty Relief with WATAX

If the IRS charged you penalties and interest on back taxes during COVID, WATAX may be able to recover those funds for you.

A recent court decision — Kwong v. IRS — established that the entire COVID-19 period (January 20, 2020 through July 10, 2023) qualified as a federal disaster, suspending penalties and interest. The IRS largely ignored this and kept charging interest and penalties anyway! Millions of taxpayers were overcharged — and you may be one of them.

The window closes July 10, 2026 for claiming most 2015–2022 returns. Once it's gone, it's gone.

  • Step 1 — Find out if you qualify. WATAX will research your IRS record, confirm your eligibility, and can discover exactly how much you may be owed.
  • Step 2 — We recover it. If you qualify, we directly represent you to the IRS and get the money back — either as reduction to what you currently owe or as cash in hand.

WATAX has already helped multiple clients cut their IRS balances significantly under this ruling. The deadline is hard. Let's find out if you're one of the millions who were overcharged — before the window closes.
