Court lets Powell tax challenge proceed amid address error
Maryland couple Clayton and Darlene Powell missed a 1989 deadline after IRS sent a 1984 tax notice to their old Adelphi address. They moved to Mitchellville in 1987 and filed a new address in 1988, but USPS did not forward the notice. The Fourth Circuit ruled they were victims of postal or IRS error, and the Supreme Court let stand the lower court ruling enabling their tax court challenge. The IRS warns the decision could hinder tax collection while urging access to appeals.
