First Circuit -- Dickow v. US

Dickow v. US 

IRS regs which denied a second 6 month extension upheld under Chevron deference.

Neither equitable estoppel nor equitable tolling are available for tax deadlines. (The latter soewhat dicta-ish.)

Gov't silence in response to deadline extension application insufficient to create estoppel.
