Tax Relief Help – Representation For Employment or Payroll Tax Problems

If you are a business owner or previously owned a now defunct business, you may be required to pay employment or payroll taxes to the IRS. These include social security and Medicare taxes to benefit workers and their dependents.

Employers are required to furnish two main payroll tax forms:

• Form 940 – The Employer’s Annual Federal Unemployment Tax Return (FUTA)
• Form 941 – The Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return

Failure to fill and submit any of the above two forms is viewed as a serious offense, and the IRS may even initiate an audit to determine if there are additional parties from whom tax can be collected.

There are two very important things to understand about owing payroll taxes or employment taxes:

1. The penalties and interests accrued on tax debts of this kind increase exponentially in a matter of months.
2. It is extremely difficult to get tax relief schemes because the IRS can deem a company’s value higher than the taxes owed, which makes you unable to apply for any tax relief programs.

Owing employment/payroll taxes to the IRS is viewed as a major offense, and failure to repay on time can have serious financial consequences. For a company with an unstable financial situation, the IRS can add to this instability when it forces repayment. This often has the effect of further destabilizing the company. In extreme cases, the IRS may even close the company and liquidate its assets in an attempt to settle the debt. For now defunct businesses, previous owners can be examined and asked to settle the debts, which are sometimes large sums.
