How to Avoid a Payroll Tax Nightmare

May 29, 2022

Careful! Handle payroll taxes the wrong way and you could end up in an IRS agent’s office.

Here’s some good advice that can help you avoid a whole lot of pain.

Never deal with taxpayers who don’t remit payroll taxes to the government. If you do, you could wind up paying a huge penalty, even if what you think you are is an innocent bystander.

That’s what happened to a certain Mr. Kazmi whose sad and instructive story I’ll detail in my April article titled How to Avoid This Payroll Tax Nightmare.

Three ways our fact-filled article can help you:

  1. I’ll show you how to avoid taking a dangerous risk. It’s a fact. You could be in serious jeopardy if you’re working with the wrong person. An honest mistake on their part can leave you holding the bag. Mr. Kazmi learned this the hard way as I explain when you READ the full article.
  2. You’ll learn how seriously the IRS takes payroll-tax mistakes. The IRS and the court dealt harshly with Mr. Kazmi, a part time bookkeeper who could not sign checks or authorize payments. He was collateral damage (and damaged he was), as I’ll explain when you READ the full article.
  3. I’ll tell you why it’s so important to respond to IRS correspondence. For example, if you fail to respond to an IRS letter 1153, you may have to pay huge penalties. It happened to Mr. Kazmi and it can happen to you, as I’ll explain when you READ the full article.
