BACK PAYROLL TAXES
“Being a former IRS agent and teaching instructor you should understand that the Internal Revenue Service is tougher on payroll taxes than any other taxes.”
WHY ? The reason for this is very simple, this tax is money held in trust in not an actual tax.
It is one of few taxes that the Internal Revenue Service not only go after the company it can in addition can go after the responsible persons or individuals.
This is a tax that you should not fool around with because it is number one on the IRS to hit list. The Internal Revenue Service will individually engage those responsible under section 6672 of the Internal Revenue Code
We should be able to make sure we can reach a reasonable settlement on your payroll tax liability and you can continue to operate your business without fear and worry from the Internal Revenue Service.
IRS does not want to seize your business for back taxes due on payroll taxes, however 941 payroll taxes are a big concern for the IRS.
The Process of receiving a IRS Payroll Tax Settlement
The Internal Revenue Service will want to fully review your company or corporation before you can obtain in IRS payroll tax settlement. You will need to provide IRS with the current financial statement along with proof that all payroll tax deposits and 941 tax forms have been filed.
Many times IRS will want a personal or individual financial statement for more responsible persons. For most company’s of the IRS payroll tax settlement may come in three forms.
IRS will review your current financial statement Internal Revenue Service may determine that you are a hardship candidate, monthly payment agreement candidate or an offer in compromise candidate and IRS payroll settlement.
IRS Payroll Taxes: Steps to take to work out an affordable payment plan with the Internal Revenue Service:
1. Immediately stay current on all payroll tax deposits to show the IRS good faith;
2. Be prepared to give the IRS a current financial statement;
3. Make sure your personal tax liabilities are filed and paid;
4. Have all documentation on the financial statement prepared for the IRS.
If you do not pay your Payroll Taxes IRS can collect them from you individually
To encourage prompt payment of withheld income and employment taxes, including social security taxes, railroad retirement taxes, or collected excise taxes, Congress passed a law that provides for the TFRP.( trust fund recovery penalty )
These payroll taxes are called trust fund taxes because you actually hold the employee’s money in trust until you make a federal tax deposit in that amount.
The TFRP may apply to you if these unpaid trust fund taxes cannot be immediately collected from the business.
The business does not have to have stopped operating in order for the TFRP to be assessed
TRUST FUND TAXES
Who can be Responsible for the TFRP ?????
The TFRP may be assessed against any person who:
Is responsible for collecting or paying withheld income and employment taxes, or for paying collected excise taxes, and
Willfully fails to collect or pay them.
A responsible person is a person or group of people who has the duty to perform and the power to direct the collecting, accounting, and paying of trust fund taxes.
This person may be:
An officer or an employee of a corporation,
A member or employee of a partnership,
A corporate director or shareholder,
A member of a board of trustees of a nonprofit organization,
Another person with authority and control over funds to direct their disbursement,
Another corporation or third-party payer,
Payroll Service Providers (PSP) ore responsible parties within a PSP
Professional Employer Organizations (PEO) or responsible parties within a PEO, or
Responsible parties within the common law employer (client of PSP/PEO).
For wilfulness to exist, the responsible person:
Must have been, or should have been, aware of the outstanding taxes and either intentionally disregarded the law or was plainly indifferent to its requirements (no evil intent or bad motive is required).
Using available funds to pay other creditors when the business is unable to pay the employment taxes is an indication of willfulness. You will be asked to complete an interview in order to determine the full scope of your duties and responsibilities.
Responsibility is based on whether an individual exercised independent judgment with respect to the financial affairs of the business.
An employee is not a responsible person if the employee’s function was solely to pay the bills as directed by a superior, rather than to determine which creditors would or would not be paid.
Figuring the Trust Fund Amount
The amount of the penalty is equal to the unpaid balance of the trust fund tax. The penalty is computed based on:
The unpaid income taxes withheld, plus
The employee’s portion of the withheld FICA taxes. For collected taxes, the penalty is based on the unpaid amount of collected excise taxes.
Assessing the TFRP. If the IRS determines that you are a responsible person, we will provide you a letter stating that we plan to assess the TFRP against you. You have 60 days (75 days if this letter is addressed to you outside the United States) from the date of this letter to appeal our proposal.
The letter will explain your appeal rights. Refer to Publication 5, Your Appeal Rights and How to Prepare a Protest if You Don’t Agree (PDF), for a clear outline of the appeals process. If you do not respond to our letter, we will assess the penalty against you and send you a Notice and Demand for Payment.
Once we assert the penalty, the IRS can take collection action against your personal assets. For instance, we can file a federal tax lien or take levy or seizure action.

Tax Debt Options for Settling Back IRS/State Tax Debt Owed to IRS.
There are three basic ways that taxpayers settle their current tax situation for back taxes with the Internal Revenue Service.
There are different ways to settle IRS tax debt and there are generally three programs that the taxpayer can qualify for to pay back taxes owed to IRS.
1. The first is a hardship or currently non-collectible program. Also called currently non collectble
There is good news and bad news about this program. After IRS takes a current documented financial statement, IRS may determine you are not collectible at the current time. IRS will suspend your case for a period of 1 to 3 years and put a freeze on it.
The good news is IRS’s off your back for a couple of years and the bad news is penalties and interest still run on it.
Taxpayer should also be aware that the case will come out every couple of years to be reviewed. Its only a part time fix.
2. The second program is the installment agreement or monthly payment.
After IRS takes a current financial statement they will determine how much money they expect from you on a monthly basis. IRS has certain national standards test that they use to determine if the taxpayer will be placed into a payment agreement.
You can find the national standards on our site.
3. The third way to sell your debt is to qualify for an offer in compromise, this is where you can settle your debt for pennies on the dollar. it’s important for taxpayers to understand that not all are eligible for the offer in compromise program.
FACTS:
* There are 78,000 offers filed each year,
* 38% usually approved,
* The average tax debt settlement $9500.
Before you get excited, there is a pre-qualifier tool.
I suggest everyone who wants to go the route was the direction of the offer make sure they are truly qualified before wasting time and money.

YOU MUST ACT ON A CERTIFIED LETTER OR NOTICE.
IRS Contacts Taxpayers by Letter or Notification 4 Different Ways:
1.By certified mail
2.By notice of federal tax levy or be filing of federal tax lien
3.By regular mail
4.By telephone
So What Is Your Next Step?
First of all, do not panic.
The IRS is just trying to resolve an open issue.
Most IRS letters, notices or bills come with a time frame of ten to thirty days to respond to the notification.
You should respond within the time period specified or the IRS will follow up and eventually use enforcement action. If you do not respond to the IRS’s attempts to reach you they will hit you with a Federal Tax Lien, a Wage Levy on your paycheck or a Tax Lien on your bank account.
Contact Fresh Start Tax and our professionals will handle the IRS for you and resolve your problem.
IRS only sends out tax levies after a series of 5 letters are sent to the taxpayer. These are sent about 5 weeks apart.
1. CP 14 – This is the notice of balance due,
2.CP 501 – This is a Bill that you still owe tax,
3. CP503 – Important, Immediate Action Required
4. CP 504 Urgent Notice – We Intend to Levy on Certain Assets, Please Respond Now
5. CP90/CP297/ IRS Letter 1058 – Final Notice of Intent to Levy of Your Right to a Hearing
6.CP 91 CP298 -Final Notice Before Levy on your Social Security Benefits
IRS Contact By Certified Mail
When IRS contacts you by certified mail it is time to be serious about the next step. The IRS has tried to contact you before to resolve the issue and has been unsuccessful.
Certified letters from the IRS usually means they are ready to take enforcement action. Unless you reach them within the prescribed period of time the IRS will probably levy your wages or bank account and file a Federal Tax Lien.
It is time to call your Fresh Start Tax Professional. In most cases, within a thirty day period of time, the IRS will send a wage levy to your employer, and or a bank levy to your bank accounts.
Whether you sign for the IRS certified mail or not, the 30 day period starts on the date of the IRS letter.
Before you make any contact with the IRS you want to know your rights so you don’t make the situation worse than it already is. This requires a plan of action. Contact Fresh Start Tax as soon as possible and we will contact the IRS immediately to stop any collection activity.
The IRS CADE2 computer is the issuer of IRS Letters and Notices
The Internal Revenue Service is spending millions and millions of dollars on their CADE2 computer. This is the computer giant that belongs to Internal Revenue Service and all its systems are held within this massive computer.
All IRS notices, letters and bills that go to taxpayers are generated from the system.
All the information that this computer generates is handled systemically and not a human hand will ever touch a piece of paper you receive. All systemic.
To stop the issuance’s of IRS notices and IRS letters you must contact an Internal Revenue Agent who can directly make changes to the CADE2 computer.
Usually you will find this on a 1-800 number on your letter, notice or bill.
If you do not contact the Internal Revenue Service at some point in time enforcement action will begin.
It is critical you contact the Internal Revenue Service at the number shown on Letter or Notice to stop or correct the problem or situation.
The worst thing you can do is not respond to the IRS notice her letter because I can assure you you will not be happy with the consequences.
I can tell you as a former IRS agent these letters are notices will not go away.
