DEADLINE APPROACHING: June 20

Your business could be owed money.

Recent federal court rulings found that certain IRS penalties and interest charged during the COVID era may have been assessed incorrectly. If your business:

✔ Filed a tax return late between 2020–2023
✔ Paid taxes late during that period
✔ Received an IRS penalty notice from 2020–2023
..you may qualify for a refund.

NEHA is partnering with Adesso Tax Services to help members explore this opportunity with:

✅ A quick eligibility questionnaire
✅ Refund estimate
✅ Claim processing and filing
✅ No upfront cost

Don't wait, Adesso is requesting applications by June 20 so claims can be processed in time.
