PAYROLL TAX PROBLEMS
The IRS is very aggressive in their attempts to collect delinquent payroll taxes. Most of the amounts due on payroll tax returns are trust fund taxes. This means that they were collected from somebody else. In the case of payroll taxes this would be from employees. The penalties assessed on unpaid payroll tax deposits or unfiled payroll tax returns can be very steep for this reason. It does not take long for these amounts to increase to astronomical numbers due to the penalties. We believe that it is critical for you to have a professional represent you in these matters. The IRS asks 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 also can be a penalty assessed against the person responsible for paying the taxes equal to the amount of unpaid taxes. We can work with you to provide a plan to pay these taxes and negotiate with the IRS to reduce the penalties, avoid bank account levies, and the seizure of assets.
