If a business has employees but has failed to pay payroll taxes or file payroll tax returns, the IRS may levy assets of the business, including income sources, accounts receivables, equipment, automobiles, and bank accounts, and may even shut down the business. Whether the business is closed, files for bankruptcy protection, or continues to operate, the IRS may look to the owners, officers, and even employees of the business to collect the unpaid payroll liabilities. These individuals may be held personally liable for debt owed by the business because of the special nature of these taxes.
When an employer pays wages and salaries to employees, the law requires the employer to withhold FICA and income taxes but does not specifically require the employer to segregate the withheld amounts from other funds. The amounts designated as being withheld are simply deemed to be held in trust for the United States. These funds are commonly referred to as trust fund taxes. They belong to the United States and do not merely represent a debt of the employer.
If the taxes are not paid over to the IRS, personal liability will be imposed on those individuals who were responsible for, but willfully failed to collect, account for, and pay over the withholding taxes. The IRS determines this personal liability in part by interviewing individuals, including shareholders, officers, and directors of the corporation. The "trust fund recovery penalty" will be assessed against the parties deemed responsible for an amount equal to the unpaid withholding taxes. Liability may be imposed on more than one individual, but the total amount of the penalty would only be collected once.
If you are involved with a company that has outstanding payroll tax issues, you may be subject to this trust fund recovery penalty. If the trust fund recovery penalty has already been assessed, you may be able to seek various forms of tax relief, which include appeal, penalty abatement, and/or offer in compromise. If you are an in-business taxpayer that is not current with Federal Tax Deposits and have several payroll tax periods that remain unpaid, you may be subject to more severe enforcement action designed to immediately stop the accrual of additional liabilities and to collect on the delinquent taxes.
