HOW A PAYROLL TAX ATTORNEY CAN DEFEND YOUR BUSINESS<\/span><\/p>

Businesses face many challenges, but one that can jeopardize both financial stability and future operations is a payroll tax issue with the IRS. Payroll taxes are essential for funding Social Security, Medicare, and other government programs. However, failure to comply with payroll tax obligations can lead to significant legal and financial consequences, including IRS actions. If you\u2019re dealing with payroll tax problems, a payroll tax attorney can be your strongest ally.<\/span><\/p>

At J. David Tax Law, our team of payroll tax lawyers specializes in defending businesses from IRS payroll tax actions. Understanding the complexities of <\/span>payroll tax law<\/span><\/a> and providing tailored legal strategies to resolve disputes with the IRS can save your business from severe penalties or worse.<\/span><\/p>

WHAT ARE PAYROLL TAXES?<\/span><\/h2>

Before diving into how a payroll tax attorney can defend your business, it\u2019s important  to understand <\/span>what <\/span>payroll taxes<\/span><\/a> are. <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>Payroll taxes are deducted from an employee’s wages by the employer and remitted to the IRS. These taxes are intended to fund government programs such as Social Security and Medicare. <\/span>Payroll taxes paid by employers<\/span> typically include a portion of Social Security tax, Medicare tax, and sometimes unemployment tax.<\/span><\/p>

For many small business owners, understanding the difference between <\/span>income tax vs payroll tax<\/span> can be confusing. Unlike income taxes, which are based on an individual’s earnings, payroll taxes are based on employee wages and are levied on both the employer and employee. Employers are responsible for making sure these taxes are collected and remitted to the appropriate government agency. Failure to do so can trigger <\/span>penalties<\/span><\/a> and lead to legal issues with the IRS.<\/span><\/p>

COMMON IRS PAYROLL TAX ACTIONS<\/span><\/h2>

\"IRS<\/span><\/span><\/p>

The IRS is serious when it comes to payroll tax enforcement. If your business fails to comply with <\/span>payroll tax laws<\/span>, you may face several types of IRS actions, including audits, liens, or levies. Below are some common payroll tax-related IRS actions:<\/span><\/p>

  1. Payroll Tax Audits<\/span>: The IRS conducts audits to ensure businesses are complying with payroll tax obligations. During these audits, the IRS will scrutinize how you\u2019ve calculated and paid your payroll taxes.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  2. Payroll Tax Liens<\/span>: If a business falls behind on payroll taxes, the IRS may place a lien on business assets. A payroll <\/span>tax lien<\/span><\/a> gives the IRS a legal claim to your property until the unpaid payroll taxes are settled.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  3. Payroll Tax Penalties<\/span>: Late or inaccurate payments can lead to severe penalties. One such penalty is the <\/span>late payment payroll tax penalty<\/span>, which can significantly increase the amount you owe.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>

    If the IRS finds that your business is non-compliant with payroll tax laws, the financial burden can be crippling. But this is where a <\/span>payroll tax attorney<\/span> comes in.<\/span><\/p>

    HOW A PAYROLL TAX ATTORNEY CAN DEFEND YOUR BUSINESS<\/span><\/h2>

    \"How<\/span><\/span><\/p>

    A <\/span>payroll tax lawyer<\/span> is specialized in managing the complexities of <\/span>payroll tax law<\/span> and providing defense strategies that protect your business from devastating IRS actions. Here’s how:<\/span><\/p>

    1. IRS Representation<\/span>: A payroll tax attorney can act as your representative during interactions with the IRS. This includes responding to notices, representing you during audits, and negotiating on your behalf. At J. David Tax Law, we have a proven track record of effectively handling IRS disputes related to <\/span>941 payroll tax<\/span><\/a> and other complex payroll issues.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    2. Penalty Negotiation and Relief<\/span>: A payroll tax lawyer can help negotiate penalties or request Trust Fund Recovery Penalty Abatement. For instance, if you\u2019re facing<\/span> <\/span>941 payroll tax form<\/span><\/a> penalties, our tax attorneys can work to either reduce the penalty or eliminate it entirely based on reasonable cause arguments.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>

      1. Lien Defense<\/span>: If your business is facing a <\/span>payroll tax lien<\/span>, the payroll tax lawyer  can work to release the lien by negotiating a payment plan or an <\/span>offer in compromise<\/span><\/a>. A lien can have serious consequences, such as damaging your business’s creditworthiness or hindering your ability to get financing. Our back tax attorneys will help you navigate through this stressful situation and minimize the impact on your business.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

      2. Payroll Tax Deposit Schedule Compliance<\/span>: One of the key components in avoiding payroll tax penalties is understanding <\/span>what determines an employer\u2019s payroll tax deposit schedule<\/span>. The IRS requires employers to follow specific deposit schedules based on the size of the payroll tax liability. Whether you’re on a semiweekly payroll tax deposit schedule or another, failing to comply with these schedules can trigger penalties. Our attorneys will help you stay compliant and avoid costly mistakes.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>


        <\/b><\/p>

        PENALTIES AND CONSEQUENCES OF PAYROLL TAX NON-COMPLIANCE<\/span><\/h2>

        Non-compliance with payroll tax laws doesn\u2019t just end with a slap on the wrist. There are severe consequences that can include:<\/span><\/p>

        1. Payroll Tax Penalty<\/span>: Failing to meet payroll tax obligations can result in penalties as high as 15% of the unpaid tax. The IRS is quick to assess penalties for late filings, missed payments, and inaccurate reporting.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

        2. Jail Time for Unpaid Payroll Taxes<\/span>: In extreme cases, willful failure to remit payroll taxes can result in <\/span>criminal charges<\/span><\/a>, including potential jail time. The IRS takes payroll tax evasion very seriously, and businesses can face harsh legal consequences.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

        3. Federal Payroll Tax Deposit Schedule Penalties<\/span>: Missing a deposit deadline or making an incorrect payment can lead to penalties that increase the longer the tax remains unpaid. For example, a missed <\/span>941 payroll tax deposit<\/span> can quickly escalate into a larger financial burden.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

        4. Asset Seizure<\/span>: If the IRS places a lien on your assets, they may eventually <\/span>seize your property<\/span><\/a> to satisfy the debt. This includes bank accounts, vehicles, real estate, and more. Once seized, the IRS can sell these assets to recover the unpaid payroll taxes.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>

          \"Penalties<\/span><\/span><\/p>

          STEPS TO PREVENT FUTURE PAYROLL TAX ISSUES<\/span><\/h2>

          It is often more effective to take preventive measures than to seek remedies after the fact.At J. David Tax Law, we don\u2019t just help you resolve payroll tax issues; we help you put strategies in place to prevent them from happening again. Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>

          1. Payroll Tax Planning<\/span>: Proper planning can help minimize the risk of payroll tax issues. By working with a payroll tax attorney, you can set up a compliant and efficient payroll system that ensures timely and accurate tax deposits.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

          2. Compliance Review<\/span>: Regularly reviewing your payroll tax filings and processes can identify potential issues before they escalate. Our attorneys offer compliance review services to make sure you\u2019re following federal, state, and local payroll tax laws.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

          3. Consulting on Tax Laws<\/span>: Employment Tax laws change frequently, and it\u2019s easy to fall behind. A payroll tax lawyer will keep you informed of any changes in the law and make sure your business remains compliant with the latest regulations.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>

            \"Steps<\/span><\/span><\/p>

            CONCLUSION<\/span><\/h2>

            When it comes to IRS payroll tax issues, the stakes are high, and failing to act can have serious consequences for your business. Understanding the difference between payroll taxes and income taxes, as well as how to handle a payroll tax penalty, is essential. It’s important to work with a payroll tax attorney who knows the law well and can create a defense plan that\u2019s specifically designed for your situation.<\/span><\/p>

            Yes, in extreme cases, failure to pay payroll taxes can result in criminal charges, including jail time.

            Income tax is based on an individual’s earnings and paid directly by the employee. Payroll tax, on the other hand, is collected from employees\u2019 wages by employers, who then remit the amount to the IRS.
