What the document says

“"(f) Application to Limitation on Credit or Refund.--For purposes of section 6511(b)(2)(A), any period disregarded under this section with respect to the time prescribed for filing any return of tax shall be treated as an extension of time for filing such return."”

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to make the postponement of certain deadlines by reason of disasters applicable to the limitation on credit or refund, and to take postponements into account for purposes of sending collection notices, Sec. 2

The text this Act adds to section 7508A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as subsection (f). It reaches one place, section 6511(b)(2)(A) of the same Code, and for the purposes of that provision it treats a period disregarded under section 7508A, with respect to the time prescribed for filing a return of tax, as an extension of time for filing that return. This Act does not state what section 6511(b)(2)(A) provides, and it does not state which periods section 7508A disregards.

What the document actually says

“"(f) Application to Limitation on Credit or Refund.--For purposes of section 6511(b)(2)(A), any period disregarded under this section with respect to the time prescribed for filing any return of tax shall be treated as an extension of time for filing such return."”

That sentence, in plain words

After a disaster some time may be set aside. That set aside time now counts as extra time to file. This matters for one rule about getting money back.

What this is about

You may have paid the tax office too much. There is a time limit to ask for it back. The limit looks at how long you had to file. Now the disaster time counts there too.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
