Representing Connecticut businesses with payroll tax problems
Payroll Tax Problems can grow even larger with IRS Trust Fund Penalties. IRS Trust Fund Penalties are the unpaid employee’s portion of payroll taxes that is assigned to the responsible payroll person. It’s a good idea to contact a Tax Attorney right away once the IRS contacts you about payroll taxes. Contact Us for a Zoom Consult.
All business are required to file payroll taxes at regular intervals, whether you have just a few employees or hundreds. Payroll taxes are carefully monitored by the IRS and a failure to pay these taxes will quickly result in an audit followed by heavy fines and penalties. This makes it easy for payroll tax problems to add up, even with just one late payment. A failure to file payroll taxes once can quickly become a second time, then a third, and before long you have tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in payroll debt. Though this can seem like an impossible obstacle, there are ways to resolve payroll tax problems. Our Tax Attorneys and CPAs can help you solve them. From our office in West Hartford, Connecticut, we help businesses throughout the state and across the country. Contact Us.
The Compounding Problem
Running a business isn’t easy, and sometimes money gets tight. When this happens, some businesses attempt to make ends meet by taking money out of payroll tax withholdings. While this money may be used to pay rent, utilities and keep the business operational, it also creates more debts and penalties. Once this practice starts, it’s hard to get out of, and the IRS does not make exceptions for businesses using their payroll withholdings to stay operational.
Payroll tax problems may also result from mismanaged accounts. You may be under the impression that payroll taxes have been paid properly, but accounting problems or document mismanagement resulted in inaccurate payments. Though this may not be a fault of yours, you are still required to pay any unpaid payroll taxes, and you are further required to pay penalties. When this happens, business owners may be completely unaware that they have not paid payroll taxes.
Payroll Tax Problems and the IRS
The IRS takes payroll tax underpayment or a failure to pay payroll taxes very seriously. To pay payroll taxes, the IRS can place liens or levies on property and even liquidate the business. To avoid these problems, it is essential to resolve payroll tax problems as soon as possible.
