Few tax problems move faster or hit harder than unpaid payroll taxes. The IRS treats the money withheld from your employees’ paychecks as funds held “in trust,” and it pursues those balances more aggressively than almost any other liability.
Worse, the debt doesn’t stop at the business: through the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP), the IRS can assess it personally against owners, officers, and anyone deemed responsible, even if the company closes. Not only are we experts at representing clients with the IRS, but we are also specialists in dealing with payroll taxes and owner Trust Fund interviews.
This is exactly the work we specialize in. We’ve represented businesses across Central Virginia and across the United States in payroll-tax matters of every size, including an engagement involving approximately $6.7 million in payroll-tax liabilities. We know how the IRS builds these cases, how to bring your 941 filings current, how to limit personal exposure, and how to negotiate a resolution that keeps your doors open.
If your business is behind on payroll taxes, time is not on your side. Call us at 804-359-5221 for an honest, confidential consultation.
We value honesty from the first conversation. Our process begins with a $1,500 research and Power of Attorney fee. This is an investment in your case: the entire amount is credited directly against any future negotiation fees, provided your engagement is paid within three months of that initial payment date. We believe in clear expectations, not surprises.
