Payroll tax troubles occur when a business fails to properly withhold, report, or pay the required taxes on employee wages, such as Social Security, Medicare, and federal income tax. These issues can lead to serious consequences, including penalties, interest, and even personal liability for business owners or responsible individuals. Common payroll tax problems include misclassifying employees as independent contractors, failing to deposit taxes on time, or incorrectly reporting payroll information to the IRS. Left unresolved, payroll tax troubles can escalate quickly, potentially resulting in audits, liens, or legal action.
