When Is a Deadline Not a Deadline? The Supreme Court Intends to Decide

November 1, 2021 By Laura Gavioli and George Abney

Our Federal Tax Group investigates why the U.S. Supreme Court may use a Tax Court case to decide whether a statutory deadline is set in stone or if a court can permit an untimely suit to proceed through equitable tolling.

  • The Tax Court ruled that a statutory deadline is jurisdictional; Eighth Circuit agrees
  • Taxpayer access to the Tax Court is at stake
  • The COVID-19 pandemic – and its attendant delays – has thrown the issue into the spotlight
