Protective claims, client alerts and Kwong: A practitioner playbook — In this episode of the Tax Section Odyssey podcast, host April Walker is joined by Michael Waalkes of Kostelanetz LLP to discuss Kwong v. United States and why it has become a practical, time-sensitive issue for CPA firms after filing season. The episode discusses the facts of the case and what it held at a high level, why Sec. 7508A’s COVID disaster relief period (through July 10, 2023) is driving renewed attention, and how the reasoning may affect deadlines, refund-suit timing, and potential interest/penalty arguments for certain clients. The conversation focuses on what firms are doing right now — client communications, internal triage, documentation, and risk management — along with how to think about tools like client alerts and protective claims while the law and potential IRS guidance continue to develop.
