Trust Fund Recovery Assistance

When it comes time to pay your employees, your company will most likely withhold Medicare, Social Security and income tax contributions from their paychecks. The money you withhold is commonly referred to as trust fund taxes because your company will place these funds into a trust until you make a federal tax deposit.

What Is a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty?

If your company withholds income tax, social security and Medicare payments from your employee’s paychecks but does not send this money to the IRS, your business will receive a trust fund recovery penalty. A payroll tax penalty is one of the most significant penalties a company can receive, and the IRS can take your personal assets to regain the amount of money you did not send.

Who Can Receive a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty?

Anyone who knowingly fails to collect and pay employment taxes for a company, such as a CEO, employee or third-party administrator, can receive a trust fund recovery penalty. Before a member of a business or nonprofit receives a penalty, the IRS must prove the individual knew the taxes were due and purposefully did not pay them. For example, if you or someone in your organization took the money intended for payroll contributions and used it for a different payment, it is a clear sign of purposefully ignoring the law.

The best choice to solve IRS issues at a reasonable fee We received many solicitations about our tax issue. BC tax, LLC was professional and... diligent in every respect. Our issue was about and unexpected recapture of depreciation on a capital gain sale we made. I was not in a cash position to pay the entire tax when due. IRS imposed a substantial penalty for not paying the tax when due. BC Tax was able to negotiate with IRS to remove the penalty. My personal attempts to deal with IRS were frustrating and with out success. Colleen's help solved our issue quickly and in the manner we had discussed. We are very appreciative of her efforts.read more
