What to Do If Your Business Owes Payroll Taxes

Stop Hoping. Start Acting. Here’s Why:

Few problems strike more terror in a business owner’s heart than a letter from the IRS about unpaid payroll taxes. This isn’t something that can be ignored or swept under the rug. The IRS treats unpaid payroll taxes as theft, money taken from your employees and the government. The moment a payment falls behind, the IRS springs into action with penalties that can double your debt, threats of asset seizure, even personal liability for anyone who can be tied to conducting payroll which puts your home and savings at risk.

First and most important: don’t face this alone. Time isn’t on your side, but the right expert is. Call Steve Perry, EA, today at (678) 717-9818.

The Real Dangers of Owing Payroll Taxes

Most business owners think, “It can’t be that bad.” The reality is far, far worse. Consider what the IRS can do within weeks

  • Freeze your business and personal bank accounts, leaving you unable to meet payroll, pay vendors, or buy inventory.

  • Issue levies and seizures on company and personal assets. Yes, the government can take your properties, cars, and funds.

  • Assign a Revenue Officer who will show up at your place of business. They are not there to talk, they are there to collect.

  • Hit you with the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty, making you or anybody connected to payroll processing, personally liable for employees’ payroll taxes even if you operated as an LLC or corporation or are a clerk.

Ignoring or breaking an IRS payment agreement isn’t just risky, it’s a decision that can haunt for decades. Interest builds daily, penalties escalate, and federal liens can freeze assets for up to 10 years.

Should You Try to Negotiate with the IRS Alone

Many hardworking business owners try to “figure it out” themselves. They assume honesty, an apology, and a payment plan will fix things. The IRS is not moved by good intentions, it demands results, not excuses. Any slip in a payment plan, any missed filing, and your relief disappears.

  • IRS agents follow strict scripts, not emotions.

  • Agreements are loaded with legal language, break just one term, and you’re back to square one, possibly worse off than before.

  • Without a qualified advocate, you’re an easy target for maximum penalties.

Even worse Once you break an agreement, getting a new one is infinitely harder. You lose credibility, and your options narrow to “pay in full or lose everything.” That’s why smart business owners get veteran Steve Perry, EA on their side immediately.

What Happens If You Break Your Agreement

  • Immediate Default. If you miss a single payment or tax filing, your deal with the IRS is voided and the full debt is instantly collectible.

  • Enforcement Resumes. That means bank levies, garnishments, property seizures, and federal liens reappear, sometimes within days.

  • Loss of Trust. The IRS is much more skeptical about giving a second chance future deals are harder, less flexible, and often require much larger lump payments.

  • Personal Liability.   The Trust Fund Recovery Penalty expands, putting your personal finances under constant threat.

Once broken, fixing the damage is exponentially tougher. Steve Perry, EA, can negotiate a new deal, but proactive, early intervention is always the best approach. Don’t wait until it’s too late
