Yes. Kwong v. United States is a real U.S. Tax Court decision. The abatement process is handled through Form 843, which is the IRS's own official claims form. We are a licensed CPA firm — not a settlement mill or a lead generation service. Kyle Dominick is a licensed CPA.

Anyone who was assessed IRS penalties or interest between January 20, 2020 and July 10, 2023 may have a qualifying claim. This includes individuals, sole proprietors, partnerships, S-Corps, and C-Corps. The free assessment determines whether your specific penalties fall within the Kwong window and are eligible for abatement.

The initial assessment is completely free. If we find a recoverable amount and you choose to move forward, our fee is 35% of what we actually recover — collected only after the IRS processes your claim. A $200 non-refundable engagement deposit is required to begin the filing process. If we don’t recover any amount, there is no additional charge.

It depends entirely on what the IRS assessed against you during the qualifying period. Some clients recover a few hundred dollars. Others recover several thousand. We won't know until we pull your transcripts — which is exactly what the free assessment does.

Very little. You complete a short survey (under 2 minutes), then sign a Form 8821 that authorizes us to pull your IRS transcripts. After that, if you have a claim for refund, we’ll work with you to file an abatement and prepare all you need to print, sign (no electronic signatures are accepted for this unfortunately), and submit certified mail to the IRS. We'll always keep you informed and walk you through what’s needed at each step.

Form 8821 is an IRS authorization form that allows us to access your tax transcripts directly from the IRS. It does not give us power of attorney or the ability to make changes to your account. It simply lets us pull the records we need to calculate your potential recovery. You can revoke it at any time.

Form 843 is the IRS's official form for requesting a refund or abatement of taxes, penalties, and interest. It is the vehicle through which Kwong-based claims are filed. We prepare and provide this for you to sign (with wet ink) and submit via certified mail.

The free assessment typically takes 3–5 business days after we receive your signed Form 8821. IRS processing of Form 843 varies — generally 3 to 6 months, though it can take longer. We follow up with the IRS on your behalf and keep you updated throughout.

July 10, 2026. This is a hard deadline — claims filed after this date will not be processed. If you believe you may qualify, start the assessment now. The free review takes less than a week and there is no obligation to proceed.

That's actually the most common situation. Most qualifying claims involve penalties and interest that were assessed and paid during the 2020–2023 window. Paying them at the time doesn't disqualify you — it's the basis for the recovery.

That's what the assessment is for. Once you sign the Form 8821, we pull your transcripts and tell you exactly what was assessed during the qualifying window. You don't need to remember or locate old records.

Yes. This is a standalone service and doesn't require you to switch firms or change anything about your existing tax relationship. Many of our Kwong clients asked their current accountants about this case, but chose to work with us as we were better versed in the process.

We serve clients in all 50 states. This is a federal tax matter handled entirely remotely. Location is not a factor.
