The easy way to catch up when you’re behind on payroll taxes
Falling behind on payroll taxes is easy when you’re busy running a business. It’s common for employers to get behind, then face pressure from the IRS to pay. Some businesses fall so far behind they don’t respond because they can’t pay the tax debt all at once. This is a mistake, as the problem just gets worse with penalties and fees, and can eventually lead to levies against assets.
Payroll tax relief is a service the Tax Hardship Center offers to business owners that fall behind on their payroll tax obligations. Whether the taxes went unpaid due to error, inability to pay, or because the business closed down, you’ll still need to address the owed taxes. Our payroll tax relief services assess your circumstances and helps you understand your best options to clear your up your tax debt.
When you have employees you must withhold Social Security, Medicare and Federal Taxes from all W-2 employees’ wages. It’s your responsibility to remit these employee withholdings or payroll taxes to the IRS. There is also an unemployment tax for each employee. These payroll taxes should be sent to the IRS on a quarterly basis.
Payroll tax rates can change year-to-year, so make sure you have the current year’s rates before filing. The following are the payroll tax rates for 2022:
Self Employment taxes: Individuals running their own business can expect to pay a total rate between 15.3%-12.4% for Social Security and 2.9% for Medicare.
The IRS will continue to charge late fees for missed payments. The fees can increase overtime.
The IRS can charge interest on top of what you owe. As interest accrues, so does the amount of the debt.
Once your debt meets a substantial amount, the IRS may choose to claim a tax lien on your assets.
A tax lien may result in seizure of your property, inventory, and machinery.
Failure to pay taxes can lead to criminal charges and a conviction with a jail sentence.
The easiest way to get your payroll tax debt resolved is by working with a professional tax relief company that has experience with payroll tax resolution. You can try to deal with the IRS on your own, but unless you have a lot of time, patience, and knowledge, the experience is overwhelming for most business owners. An experienced tax resolution company can negotiate on your behalf and make sure you take full advantage of any IRS tax relief program that you qualify for.
