Payroll Tax Problems

In their attempt to collect delinquent payroll taxes, the IRS can take quite an aggressive approach. Nearly all the amounts due on payroll tax returns are trust fund taxes, meaning they were collected from your employees. The penalties assessed on unpaid payroll tax deposits or unfiled payroll tax returns can be very steep for this reason. Because of these penalties, it does not take long for these amounts to increase to astronomical numbers.

When such a situation arises, we believe it is critical for you to be represented by a professional. During an encounter the IRS, they will ask you a series of questions. How the first five questions are answered are critical in determining whether you stay in business, or have your business seized and liquidated by them. There can also be a penalty assessed against the person responsible for paying the taxes equal to the amount of unpaid taxes. It is our goal to work with you and provide a plan to pay these taxes, as well as negotiate a reduction of penalties, avoid bank account levies, and the seizure of assets.
