IRS payroll tax problems
As a former IRS agent you should know that Internal Revenue Service pays very close attention to people who do not pay their payroll taxes.
The reason for this is simple, owing payroll taxes is about trust fund money or money that was held in trust by the employer.
In all reality this is not a tax but simply monies are to be turned over to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of this, IRS puts out quarterly alerts on any large dollar taxpayers that do not pay current payroll taxes.
These alerts are called FTD alerts. It is critical that before contacting IRS that you have all 941 tax returns filed and you are making current tax deposits.
You should also be aware that IRS has the ability to set up the trust fund penalty against those person or persons responsible for making deposits. Those individuals who fail to pay over the 941 payroll taxes can and will be held personally responsible for the money to the IRS.
On many large dollar cases the IRS also has the option of making criminal referrals.
If you will owe large dollars to the Internal Revenue Service as a result of payroll tax it is critical you contact a tax professional to go ahead to handle your IRS representation. Simple cases and low dollar cases those taxpayers can handle those on their own.
The trust fund recovery penalty
General rule for trust fund recovery
Any person required to collect, truthfully account for, and pay over any tax imposed by this title who willfully fails to collect such tax, or truthfully account for and pay over such tax, or willfully attempts in any manner to evade or defeat any such tax or the payment thereof, shall, in addition to other penalties provided by law, be liable to a penalty equal to the total amount of the tax evaded, or not collected, or not accounted for and paid over. No penalty shall be imposed under section 6653 or part II of subchapter A of chapter 68 for any offense to which this section is applicable.
Preliminary notice requirement
In general
No penalty shall be imposed under subsection (a) unless the Secretary notifies the taxpayer in writing by mail to an address as determined under section 6212 (b) or in person that the taxpayer shall be subject to an assessment of such penalty.
Timing of notice
The mailing of the notice described in paragraph (1) (or, in the case of such a notice delivered in person, such delivery) shall precede any notice and demand of any penalty under subsection (a) by at least 60 days.
Statute of limitations
If a notice described in paragraph (1) with respect to any penalty is mailed or delivered in person before the expiration of the period provided by section 6501 for the assessment of such penalty (determined without regard to this paragraph), the period provided by such section for the assessment of such penalty shall not expire before the later of—
1. the date 90 days after the date on which such notice was mailed or delivered in person, or
2. if there is a timely protest of the proposed assessment, the date 30 days after the Secretary makes a final administrative determination with respect to such protest.
IRS payroll tax problems
Federal Income Tax and Social Security and Medicare Taxes
You generally must withhold federal income tax from your employees’ wages. You withhold part of Social Security and Medicare taxes from your employees’ wages and you pay a matching amount yourself. To figure how much to withhold from each wage payment, use the employee’s Form W-4 and the methods described in Publication 15, Employer’s Tax Guide and Publication 15-A, Employer’s Supplemental Tax Guide (PDF).
Notice 1036 (PDF) contains the percentage method income tax withholding tables, the Social Security and Medicare tax withholding rates, and related information that most employers need to implement these changes. Publication 15, (Circular E), Employers Tax Guide (PDF), contains the percentage method tables and the wage bracket tables that some employers use.
Employers should start using the new withholding tables as soon as possible in 2013, but not later than February 15, 2013.
Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax
You report and pay FUTA tax separately from Federal Income tax, and Social Security and Medicare taxes. You pay FUTA tax only from your own funds. Employees do not pay this tax or have it withheld from their pay. Refer to Publication 15, Employer’s Tax Guide and Publication 15-A, Employer’s Supplemental Tax Guide (PDF) for more information on FUTA tax.
Employers in some states may owe more tax under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) than they expect if they operate in a credit reduction state. Employers in credit reduction states must increase the FUTA tax rate on wages subject to taxes under that state’s Unemployment Insurance (UI) program when they prepare their Form 940, Employer’s Annual Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax Return.

When money is owed to the IRS
Any time money is owed to the Internal Revenue Service the Service will want an updated financial statement.
Those financial statements will either be a 433-F or 433-A depending which unit is working your case.
If the case is at the service center the IRS will require a 433-F, if your case is being worked out the local IRS office with a revenue officer , the agent will require a form 433-A. The IRS will ask you to fully document the financial statement that is turned in to the IRS for review.
Upon the review of the financial statement the IRS will place your case in one of three category.
First category.
IRS will determine that you are a IRS tax hardship and you at this time cannot pay the tax. IRS will close the case off of enforcement collection computer and suspend your case for a period of of 2 to 3 years. It should be noted that penalties and interest continue to be paid on this tax liability until the case comes out to the field for a new review.
Category two.
IRS will determine you can make an installment agreement or a payment plan. IRS will make this determination based on your current income and expenses. If your income exceeds your current expenses IRS will want to surplus income turned over to them for a monthly installment payment.
Category three.
IRS may determine that you should file an offer in compromise Should you meet the stiff criteria to file for IRS tax debt settlement. No offer in compromise or IRS tax debt settlement should be set into Internal Revenue Service unless it is looked at by a true professional. Many taxpayers find themselves in trouble in doing offers and compromises by themselves. Many times they give IRS a road map right into their financial life.

IRS Tax Levy Resolution – Bank, Wage Levy Removals – Former IRS

Cannot Pay the IRS – There are Options – Former IRS Agents 1-866-700-1040
During these tough economic times many people are financially strapped and are having a hard time just making ends meet. IRS does not advertise this but it is very possible that you may qualify for an economic tax hardship with the Internal Revenue Service.
There are provisions within the Internal Revenue Service manual that allows for taxpayers that are going through a financial crisis to apply for this economic tax hardship and in doing so IRS will go ahead and put your case into a currently non-collectible file.
The Process
1. For this process to happen, the Internal Revenue Service will require a current financial statement. IRS will require either a 433-F or a 433 -A depending on which unit is currently working the case.
2. IRS will expect that this financial statement be correctly documented and also you will have to have all tax returns currently filed with the IRS.
3. IRS will also ask if you are currently making estimated tax payments or you have sufficient withholding being taken out so you will not owe taxes this year. IRS may ask you to adjust your current withholding to put you in a current tax hardship.
Should IRS determine that your case is a current hardship, IRS will put you into the currently noncollectable status. As a result your case will stay suspended for the next two or three years until your adjusted gross income reflects a change in your ability to pay the IRS.
When the CADE 2 computers of IRS finds that your AGI has sufficiently increased, your case will send the case back in to the billing cycle to be put back into the system once again.
SUMMARY OF ECONOMIC HARDSHIP
When the taxpayer’s liability can be collected in full, but collection of the federal tax would create an economic hardship, the IRS will consider all facts before taking collection action or enforcement action such as federal tax liens or federal tax levies.
The definition of economic hardship is derived from Treasury Regulations § 301.6343-1.
An Economic hardship occurs when a taxpayer is unable to pay reasonable basic living expenses.
The determination of a reasonable amount for basic living expenses will be made by the Internal Revenue Service and will vary according to the unique circumstances of every individual taxpayer.
Department of Labor Platforms
The IRS in accordance with the United States Departmental of Labor have set up platforms to determine these hardship and living standards. They can be found on our website.
These standards are also being used by the United States Department of Justice in the normal course of U.S. bankruptcy proceedings. Because economic hardship is defined as the inability to meet reasonable basic living expenses, it applies only to individuals (including sole proprietorship entities).
Compromise on economic hardship grounds is not available to corporations, partnerships, or other non-individual entities.
The taxpayer’s financial information and special circumstances must be examined by the Agent and fully documented to determine if they qualify for an economic hardship. All documentation must be in writing.
Financial analysis includes reviewing basic living expenses as well as other considerations. The IRS may go back for the last 3 years, examine all canceled checks and will complete a full asset check.
IRS will /may also examine credit reports and loan applications and sale of assets for the last 3 years.
The IRS will/can also look to see if the taxpayer has placed assets beyond the IRS reach.
In addition to the basic living expenses, other factors to consider that have impact upon the taxpayers financial condition include:
1. The taxpayers age and employment status,
2. Number, age, and health of the taxpayers dependents,
3. Cost of living in the area the taxpayer resides,
4. Any extraordinary circumstances such as special education expenses or natural disaster,
5. Medical situations that have effected the life of the taxpayer or others in his family,
6. The education of the taxpayer is sometimes considered as well.
This list is not all-inclusive. Other factors may be considered in making an economic hardship determination.
Other Factors
Other factors that support an economic hardship determination may include:
1. The taxpayer is incapable of earning a living because of a long term illness, medical condition or disability, and it is reasonably foreseeable that the financial resources will be exhausted providing for care and support during the course of the condition.
2. The taxpayer may have a set monthly income and no other means of support and the income is exhausted each month in providing for the care of dependents.
3. The taxpayer has assets, but is unable to borrow against the equity in those assets, and liquidation to pay the outstanding tax liabilities would render the taxpayer unable to meet basic living expenses.
4. Someone in the immediate family of the taxpayer has been hit with a catastrophe.
An act of God causing an unforeseen occurrence.
Remember, each situation is different and each and every case is based on its own merit. No two cases are ever the same.
Economic Hardship – IRS will release Levies
A tax levy is required to be released when the Service determines the levy is creating an economic hardship, i.e., the levy will cause the individual to be unable to pay their reasonable necessary living expenses.
In order to obtain a release of levy for economic hardship the taxpayer must act in good faith.
Examples of failure to act in good faith include, but are not limited to:
a. failing to make full disclosure of assets
b. inflating actual expenses or costs
c. falsifying financial information.
The decision to release a levy due to economic hardship requires financial analysis. The financial analysis requires sufficient financial information to confirm the levy is causing the taxpayer to be unable to meet necessary living expenses.

The New Fresh Start Program and Initiative
The Internal Revenue Service has expanded its “Fresh Start” initiative to help struggling taxpayers who owe taxes.
The following four tips explain the expanded relief for taxpayers.
1.Penalty Relief.
Part of the initiative relieves some unemployed taxpayers from failure-to-pay penalties.
Penalties are one of the biggest factors a financially distressed taxpayer faces on a tax bill. The Fresh Start Penalty Relief Program & Initiative gives eligible taxpayers a six-month extension to fully pay 2011 taxes.
Interest still applies on the 2011 taxes from April 17, 2012 until the tax is paid, but you won’t face failure-to-pay penalties if you pay your tax, interest and any other penalties in full by Oct. 15, 2012.
Tax Penalty relief into categories
The penalty relief is available to two categories of taxpayers:
1. Wage earners who have been unemployed at least 30 consecutive day during 2011 or in 2012 up to this year’s April 17 tax deadline.
2. Self-employed individuals who experienced a 25 percent or greater reduction in business income in 2011 due to the economy.
Qualification for Penalty Relief
To qualify for this penalty relief, your adjusted gross income must not exceed $200,000 if married filing jointly or $100,000 if your filing status is single, married filing separately, head of household, or qualifying widower. Your 2011 balance due can not exceed $50,000.
Taxpayers who qualify need to complete a new Form 1127A to request the 2011 penalty relief.
Installment agreements or payment plans.
An installment agreement is a payment option for those who cannot pay their entire tax bill by the due date. The Fresh Start provisions give more taxpayers the ability to use streamlined installment agreements to catch up on back taxes and also more time to pay.
If you owe under $50,000 in tax
The new threshold for requesting an installment agreement has been raised from $25,000 to $50,000. This option requires limited financial information, meaning far less burden to the taxpayer. The maximum term for streamlined installment agreements has been raised to six years from the current five-year maximum.
If your tax debt is over $50,000
If your tax debt is more than $50,000, you’ll still need to supply the IRS with a Collection Information Statement (Form 433-A or Form 433-F).
Please note, you also can pay your balance down to $50,000 or less to qualify for this payment option.
With an installment agreement, you’ll pay less in penalties, but interest continues to accrue on the outstanding balance. In order to qualify for the new expanded streamlined installment agreement, you must agree to monthly direct debit payments.
The offer in compromise program is for those who cannot pay their IRS tax debts
Offer in Compromise Under the first round of Fresh Start in 2011, the IRS expanded the Offer in Compromise (OIC) program to cover a larger group of struggling taxpayers.
An Offer in Compromise is an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that settles the taxpayer’s tax liabilities for less than the full amount owed.
Generally, an offer will not be accepted if the IRS believes that the liability can be paid in full as a lump sum or through a payment agreement. The IRS looks at the taxpayer’s income and assets to make a determination regarding the taxpayer’s ability to pay.

IRS has a very specific procedures on how to Stop an IRS tax Levy.
IRS will want a current financial statement. Depending on where your cases in the IRS system IRS will require either a 433-F or a 433-a. Those two forms are the only financial statements that IRS will accept in the processing of stopping in IRS tax Levy.
IRS will then want complete verification of the financial statement including the bank statements for the last three months and pay stubs. Once the IRS has your financial statements and documents in hand, IRS will then make a determination and put you in one of three categories.
How your case will be resolved by the Internal Revenue Service
Category one. You qualify for an IRS tax hardship because your current expenses exceed your income.
Category two. IRS will enter you into an installment repayment arrangement based on your income and expense ratios.
Category three . IRS will entertain the filing of an offer to compromise or tax debt settlement.
What is in IRS tax Levy
A IRS Tax levy is a legal seizure of your property to satisfy a tax debt.
Levies are different from federal tax liens.
A Federal Tax Lien is a claim used as security for the tax debt, while a levy actually takes the property to satisfy the tax debt.
If you do not pay your taxes the IRS may seize and sell any type of real or personal property that you own or have an interest in.
IRS can if it wishes:
a. IRS could seize and sell property that you hold (such as your car, boat, or house), or
b. IRS could levy property that is yours but is held by someone else, such as your wages, retirement accounts, dividends, bank accounts, licenses, rental income, accounts receivables, the cash loan value of your life insurance, or commissions. certain requirements are met
IRS will only levy after certain requirements are met
IRS usually levy only after these three requirements are met:
1. The IRS assessed the tax and sent you a Notice and Demand for Payment;
2. The taxpayer neglected or refused to pay the tax; and
3. The IRS sent you a Final Notice of Intent to Levy and Notice of Your Right to A Hearing (levy notice) at least 30 days before the levy.
Place and method of delivery
IRS may give you this notice in person, leave it at your home or your usual place of business, or send it to your last known address by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
Special note:
if the IRS levies your state tax refund, you may receive a Notice of Levy on Your State Tax Refund, Notice of Your Right to Hearing after the levy.
Hardship provisions for IRS tax levies
If a levy on your wages, bank account or other property is causing a hardship you should:
Contact a tax professional or the IRS IRS at the telephone number on the levy or correspondence immediately and explain your financial situation.
If we determine the levy is creating an immediate economic hardship, the levy may be released.
A levy release does not mean you are exempt from paying the balance.
The IRS will work with you to establish payment plans or take other steps to help you pay off the balance. To help ensure quick action, please have the fax number available for the bank or employer office that is processing the levy.
You can ask for a manager to review your case to stop the IRS tax Levy
You may ask an IRS manager to review your case, or you may request a Collection Due Process hearing with the Office of Appeals by filing a request for a Collection Due Process hearing with the IRS office listed on your notice.
Please Note: You must file your request within 30 days of the date on your notice.
Some of the issues you may discuss include:
a. You paid all you owed before we sent the levy notice,
b. The IRS assessed the tax and sent the levy notice when you were in bankruptcy, and subject to the automatic stay during bankruptcy,
c. The IRS made a procedural error in an assessment,
d. The time to collect the tax (called the statute of limitations) expired before we sent the levy notice,
e. You did not have an opportunity to dispute the assessed liability,
f. You wish to discuss the collection options, or
g. You wish to make a spousal defense.
The IRS office of appeals
At the conclusion of your hearing, the Office of Appeals will issue a determination. You will have 30 days after the determination date to bring a suit to contest the determination. Refer to Publication 1660 (PDF), for more information. If your property is levied or seized, contact the employee who took the action.
You also may ask the manager to review your case. If the matter is still unresolved, the manager can explain your rights to appeal to the Office of Appeals
Levying Your Wages, Federal Payments, State Refunds, or Your Bank Account
If we levy your wages, salary, federal payments or state refunds, the levy will end when:
1. The levy is released,
2. You pay your tax debt, or
3. The time expires for legally collecting the tax.
Bank Account IRS tax levies
If we levy your bank account, your bank must hold funds you have on deposit, up to the amount you owe, for 21 days. This holding period allows time to resolve any issues about account ownership.
After 21 days, the bank must send the money plus interest, if it applies, to the IRS. To discuss your case, call the IRS employee whose name is shown on the Notice of Levy.
