Payroll Tax Problems: When the IRS Means Business, Don’t Go It Alone
Quite simply, payroll tax delinquency can spell serious trouble; however, Atlanta tax attorney and certified public accountant Jeffrey S. Gartzman is a consummate professional with nearly 30 years of experience representing businesses facing such a challenging and complex legal tax issue. Squaring off against the IRS regarding unpaid payroll taxes without expert representation is a surefire way to risk not only incurring severe financial penalties, but also possibly even losing your business all together. The Internal Revenue Service approaches payroll tax audits very seriously, and so should you.
Essentially, payroll taxes are the variety of state and federal taxes that employers legally withhold from employees’ paychecks, including FICA, Medicare, and Social Security, among others. The IRS trusts employers to withhold a certain percentage of each employee’s wages for each different type of tax and, in some cases, make an additional matching payment to the IRS on behalf of the employee. The key word here is trust. The IRS will conduct a payroll tax audit if it believes that an employer has failed to make even one payroll tax payment, and the penalties can accrue significantly in a short period of time. Additionally, since the IRS views payroll taxes as a “trust” tax, a failure to pay can lead to criminal prosecution.
