Louisiana Meat Processors Assn - LAMP

There's a tax refund opportunity with a hard deadline of July 10, 2026, that many business owners don't know about.

Two federal courts (Kwong v. United States and Abdo v. Commissioner) recently ruled that COVID-era IRS penalties and interest were unlawfully assessed. That means refunds may be available to a wide range of U.S. taxpayers.

Additionally, the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) window may still be open, potentially worth up to $19,000 per employee for businesses that:

✅ Were fully or partially shut down by a COVID government order, OR
✅ Saw a significant revenue drop vs. 2019 (50%+ in 2020, 20%+ in 2021)

Many business owners have been told the ERC deadline had passed. Based on the court rulings, that may no longer be accurate.

The IRS has appealed these decisions, which is why protective claims need to be filed before July 10, 2026.

If this applies to you or your business, it's worth a conversation with a tax professional soon.

I am working with tax professionals who can conduct a free assessment to see if your business qualifies.
You do not pay anything until you receive your refund.

Let me know if you are interested and I will help you set up an assessment.
