Understanding and managing payroll taxes, particularly through Form 941, is a critical but often misunderstood part of running a business. This form, which employers must file quarterly, reports withheld income taxes, as well as Social Security and Medicare taxes for employees. Yet, even a minor error in this process can lead to significant financial and legal consequences. Let’s delve into the common pitfalls associated with Form 941 and explore how a specialized tax firm can be instrumental in resolving these issues.
Deciphering Form 941
Form 941 is not merely a piece of paperwork; it’s a cornerstone of tax compliance for employers:
  • Who Files: All businesses that pay wages to employees are required to file this form.
  • What It Covers: It includes federal income tax withheld, Social Security, and Medicare taxes both from the employee and employer sides.
The Pitfalls of 941
1. Miscalculation of Taxes: Errors in calculating withheld taxes can result in incorrect payments to the IRS.
2. Late or Missed Filings: Missing the deadline for filing or paying can lead to escalating penalties and interest.
3. Non-Filing: Completely failing to file Form 941 can result in severe penalties, interest, and potential legal action.
4. Inaccurate Reporting: Discrepancies between reported wages on Form 941 and W-2 forms can trigger IRS scrutiny.
5. Trust Fund Recovery Penalty: This penalty can hold individuals responsible for unpaid payroll taxes personally liable.
6. Payroll Fraud: Though less common, internal fraud involving payroll taxes can lead to significant complications.

IRS Urges Travelers Requiring Passports to Pay Their Back Taxes or Enter into Payment Agreements;

People Owing $51,000 or More Covered

The Internal Revenue Service today strongly encouraged taxpayers who are seriously behind on their taxes to pay what they owe or enter into a payment agreement with the IRS to avoid putting their passports in jeopardy.

This month, the IRS will begin implementation of new procedures affecting individuals with “seriously delinquent tax debts.” These new procedures implement provisions of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, signed into law in December 2015. The FAST Act requires the IRS to notify the State Department of taxpayers the IRS has certified as owing a seriously delinquent tax debt. See Notice 2018-1. The FAST Act also requires the State Department to deny their passport application or deny renewal of their passport. In some cases, the State Department may revoke their passport.
