At Ecton Law Firm, PA, our payroll tax lawyers represent business owners throughout the Carolinas who find themselves facing payroll tax debt, IRS investigations, or enforcement action threats. Whether your business is still operating or has since ceased operations, we are equipped to help you understand what you owe, why you owe it, and what you can do to resolve the issue before it becomes more serious.

Why Business Owners In The Carolinas Trust Ecton Law Firm, PA

When you are in search of an IRS payroll tax attorney or a federal payroll tax attorney, you need to find someone who understands the complexities and urgency of payroll tax issues. Delinquent payroll taxes are treated very seriously by the IRS, often resulting in harsh penalties, liens, levies, or even criminal charges.

Our firm has years of experience navigating the ever-changing IRS “trust fund” recovery process, negotiating resolutions, mitigating business shutdowns, and defending entrepreneurs from personal liability.

We know the rules, the IRS, and most importantly, how to protect your best interests.

Understanding Payroll Taxes And What Happens When You Fall Behind

Employers are required to withhold and submit Social Security, Medicare, and federal income taxes as “Federal Payroll Tax Deposits.” They must also file quarterly and annual forms like Form 941 and Form 940.

If deposits are not made in a timely or accurate manner, immediate risks can be posed against the company. Depending on the circumstances, the IRS may choose to assess steep penalties, open an audit, or begin collecting from the business.

In some cases, the IRS may target owners, officers, bookkeepers, and anyone else with financial responsibility for the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty. They will not hesitate to freeze accounts or shut down non-compliant businesses if they believe that they have the legal grounds to do so.

Defend Yourself And Resolve Payroll Tax Problems With A Qualified Lawyer

At Ecton Law Firm, PA, we will begin the process of resolving your tax concerns by identifying errors, reviewing your payroll records, determining outstanding liabilities, and evaluating the position that the IRS has chosen to take.

From there, we will help you thoughtfully respond to IRS notices, negotiate payment plans, challenge assessments, and work toward settlements that protect both your professional and personal finances.

If the IRS is seeking to collect from you personally, we will move quickly and strategically to dispute liability and prevent further enforcement. No matter what the unique details of the situation may be, we are prepared to guide you through the tax maze, clarify your obligations, and help you regain financial control.
