Richardson Trust Fund Recovery Penalty Attorney

Withholding taxes are commonly referred to as trust fund taxes because employers hold them in trust before paying them to the government. If the IRS performs an audit and discovers that a person who is responsible for withholding or paying these taxes has willfully failed to do so, that person can be held personally liable for the full amount of the unpaid taxes. This punishment is called a trust fund recovery penalty, or TFRP.

Employment tax disputes with the IRS over trust fund recovery penalties can greatly disrupt a business' operations. Often, the IRS will target anyone responsible for withholding the tax, such as:

• A director or officer of a corporation
• A trustee or agent with authority over the business' funds
• A partner
• A sole proprietor
• A regular employee who has control over the funds

The government aggressively pursues unpaid payroll taxes. In fact, criminal prosecutions sometimes follow IRS assessments. It is imperative that you work with a lawyer who has the experience necessary to protect your business and personal interests.
