Delinquent Payroll Tax Case
On occasion we get a doozy. In this particular case, we had to force the issue with the IRS. Pursing the IRS is a little backwards. Normally, we are consistently trying to keep the client out of the IRS light. But in this case the client could no longer afford to be ignored by the IRS.
The client’s business had a delinquent payroll tax problem. This was a major issue because the business had federal contracts. If the business was not compliant with the IRS, then the business would lose all federal contracts.
The IRS was not aggressively pursuing the client. The case was in IRS limbo. Nobody in the IRS would work on the case. If we could not set up an agreement with the IRS, then the business will not be considered compliant.
We were able to force the issue with the IRS. As a result, the client’s case was assigned to an IRS Revenue Officer. We worked with the IRS Revenue Officer to set up an arrangement to pay back all delinquent payroll taxes. The client’s business was considered compliant and continued to receive federal contracts.
