NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Friday, July 10, is the last day for taxpayers to claim refunds on IRS penalties or interest paid during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A federal court ruled that taxpayers were not required to file on time during the pandemic. Those who were penalized for filing late may be owed a refund.
The IRS said tens of millions of Americans qualify for the refund.
Taxpayers should review their tax transcripts and look for any penalties or interest charged during the pandemic period. Those who find such charges may be eligible for a refund. The deadline to act is today, July 10, 2026.
