The IRS acts aggressively to ensure that businesses maintain current tax filings and payroll tax deposits. Penalties, interest, levies and seizures can affect the ability to carry on day-to-day operations. The IRS can close down a business by seizing all its property to pay off the tax debt. There may be personal liability that attaches to the owners and officers of the business for unpaid payroll and other fiduciary taxes.
IRS Small Business Filing Requirements:
IRS requires an employer to withhold from each paycheck and pay to the government amounts for federal income tax, social security tax and Medicare tax. Failure to pay those taxes can result in severe financial penalties. Employers are required to use Form 941 to report the amount of taxes withheld from the paychecks of the employees. If you have fallen behind in reporting and paying the Form 941 taxes for your small business, you need to know that you still have options.
