Trust Fund Recovery Assistance

Home | Our Tax Services | Trust Fund Recovery Assistance

When it comes time to pay your employees, your company will most likely withhold Medicare, Social Security and income tax contributions from their paychecks. The money you withhold is commonly referred to as trust fund taxes because your company will place these funds into a trust until you make a federal tax deposit.

What Is a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty?

If your company withholds income tax, social security and Medicare payments from your employee’s paychecks but does not send this money to the IRS, your business will receive a trust fund recovery penalty. A payroll tax penalty is one of the most significant penalties a company can receive, and the IRS can take your personal assets to regain the amount of money you did not send.

Who Can Receive a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty?

Anyone who knowingly fails to collect and pay employment taxes for a company, such as a CEO, employee or third-party administrator, can receive a trust fund recovery penalty. Before a member of a business or nonprofit receives a penalty, the IRS must prove the individual knew the taxes were due and purposefully did not pay them. For example, if you or someone in your organization took the money intended for payroll contributions and used it for a different payment, it is a clear sign of purposefully ignoring the law.

BC Tax’s Trust Fund Recovery Penalty Abatement Process

At BC Tax, our mission is to help large and small business owners understand and correctly complete the payroll tax process. Our tax professionals can examine your past tax returns to ensure you are filing your taxes correctly. If we find that your company has been filing incorrectly, we can make suggestions to minimize your expenses and the risk of an audit in the future.

BC Tax can also provide assistance if the IRS decides to assess your trust fund recovery penalty. We offer complimentary consultations to thoroughly explain our service offerings. After this consultation, our Enrolled Agents will collect and examine your records and returns to mount a thorough yet fair defense. Our team can also help you complete Form 4180 and provide professional representation at the 4180 interview to improve your chances of resolving this issue.

Disappointed with BC Tax. I worked with them for almost 4 years on and off and spent almost $20k total and my tax issues remain unsolved.Megan, who was supposed to handle my case, never seemed to have time to address my concerns or provide updates. I would call her numerous times, send multiple emails and all i get is a phone call from her personal assistant Paula saying Megan is busy and waiting for the IRS to call us back. And when she would get on the phone every 60 days or more she sound annoyed. She later tells me she has a very stressful job dealing with the IRS and during her lunch breaks she needs time to work out, she would usually call me at the end of the day that’s impossible for me to call them back because they all left already. My grandmother passed away from Thailand and she couldn’t even help me to get my passport on time that i missed the whole funeral. Then she wouldn’t give me a fix price at the end saying i have to pay almost $4k to get my passport and more money to get a resolution, this is her personal assistant again calling me to pay. I expected much better treatment ,communication , and results for the price I paid. I wouldn’t recommend their services at all. Lastly, she was calling the new IRS assigned on my case but the number she has is not even correct. Unbelievable. Use other company but BC Tax.

I’ve never felt like a lawyer could b a good person. Untill I met Dan!! Not only did he comfort my worries, but he was 100% straightforward and honest about everything. It was so refreshing to have a lawyer who truly cares about your situation your family and your results. I would recommend him over and over and over again thanks Dan!

My life was over….Well let me start from the disaster. The state refused to work with my small restaurant business to get on a payment plan. They froze my accounts, seized all my money and property and finally closed my doors. I had no idea what to do. It was literally over. This restaurant is my life. It supports my family and community. Then I answered the phone one day randomly. Daniel has become my life saver. Although I didn’t need to use their services, Dan still talked to me and became a really good friend. This company will go above and beyond for you even if you don’t work with them! Daniel sat on calls with me for hours and days just listening to me cry. We talked and worked thru some things and with his help I gained the confidence to dig myself out of this hole. We finally re opened and we are going strong again! He’s a lifelong friend and I would highly recommend this company for any tax needs! These are the real ones here.
