Typically, obtaining account transcripts requires a licensed tax resolution specialist and either Form 8821 or Form 2848 for the IRS to retrieve transcripts. Transcript retrieval assistance is $250.

What PAapp looks for

Failure to file penalties: TC 160 or TC 166, plus matching transcript descriptions.
Failure to pay penalties: TC 270 or TC 276, plus matching transcript descriptions.
COVID workflow also reviews TC 196/197 interest and estimated tax penalty lines that may fall in the Kwong window.
Penalty abatements or credits: TC 161, TC 167, TC 271, or TC 277.
Tax period labels such as tax period, period ending, form 1040 year, or account period.

PAapp flags likely transcript lines. It does not decide eligibility, submit Form 843, or replace review of the IRS notice.

COVID Penalty Abatement uses the Kwong screening window of January 20, 2020 through July 10, 2023. Relief is not automatic and the legal issue is still evolving.
