How Bad Can IRS Debt Problems Get?

If you neglect to pay a tax bill, decline to make new arrangements, or do not hire a professional to arrange new terms the collection process will gradually become more aggressive.

Outstanding balances owed to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will get worse before they get better if not resolved.

The IRS can seize and sell your property to satisfy the debt. Examples of your personal property that the IRS can take ownership of include: your home, your car, jewelry, 401(k) accounts, Individual Retirement Account, liquid assets, stock holdings, business equipment, Inventory, rental or business property, boats and other watercraft, rental income, or royalties.

The IRS can seize any property or money that you have an interest in to satisfy your outstanding tax debt. The money or property does not have to be in your personal possession to be subject to a property seizure.

IRS can order the funds of an employer / bank managed 401(k) retirement account to be turned over if other collection attempts have failed.

You don’t have to handle the IRS alone; we have firsthand experience in helping our customers with tax help to these common problems. Enrolled Agents can achieve an agreement that can allow you to continue living your life, while also satisfying the collection demands of the state or federal government.

The best way to prevent tax problems with the IRS is to file your taxes on time every year. If it’s too late and the IRS notifications are starting to roll in, then maybe it is time to start preparing missing tax returns from previous years.

Even if you presently don’t have the money available to pay the balance due on any of your previous tax returns – you should still file. As timely as this process can be it is still necessary to get into compliance or to start certain tax resolution options.

 An example of documents and forms you may need to clear up past tax return could include previous year W2 and 1099 statements, 1098 mortgage interest statements, childcare expenses, and all other documents that you normally would use to file a tax return. If you can’t locate your wage information, you will need to request a wage and income transcript from the IRS.

Payroll Tax Help for Small Business

Owning a small business, you are required to make deposits to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to cover the federal income tax withheld from every employee.

Deposits are to be made to both your share and the employee’s share of social security withholding and Medicare taxes. It’s common for small business owners to have difficulties meeting their payroll tax deposit obligations due to cash flow issues, this snowball effect often leads to payroll tax debt. Give us a call, we can represent you and get you back on track fast.

Denying the IRS payments is usually not the problem. Rather, it is a problem of having to meet other expenses to keep the business operational and not having the funds to pay the IRS, especially during slow seasons for some businesses. Neglect on the part of the taxpayer or payroll company responsible for managing the payroll tax deposits for a small business is another unfortunate reason that company owners find themselves in tax debt facing issues with the IRS. For reasons unknown the IRS tends to be more forceful with small business owners with overdue payroll taxes than it is with individual taxpayers.

Delinquent Payroll Tax Problems and Solutions for Small Business Owners

Your company may qualify for a streamlined In-Business Trust Fund Express Installment Agreement if you meet certain requirements. This means you won’t be required to dish out financial statements and a lengthy verification process. However, the IRS does require you to authorize a direct debit from your business bank account if the amount you owe is higher than $10,000.

If your small business does not qualify for a payment plan, you’ll have to complete Form 433-B, Collection Information Statement for Businesses and contact a Field Representative with the IRS immediately. This form requires you to list all financial information for your business, including income, assets, liabilities, creditors, whether the company is party to any lawsuits, among other private details. Even after going through all that, the IRS may still not provide you with a reasonable arrangement to repay your payroll tax debt.

If, however, you lack the time, or knowledge needed to enter into an agreement with the IRS an Enrolled Agent with Tax Service Masters can certainly help.

Important to note that the IRS main agenda is to collect as much money, in the least amount of time, and you have compelled them into the position of an oppositional lender by not meeting your tax obligations on time. The IRS also prioritizes the debt you owe them over what you owe to other creditors.

So, as a business owner do you have any say in the payment amount quoted for an installment agreement? Depending on your situation the answer is commonly yes, when the IRS states it will accept a certain amount as payment each month you may be presented with repayment options.
