Service Overview

Resolving an EDD Payroll Tax Debt

After an EDD audit reclassifies workers, employers are often left with an assessment they can’t pay. California provides a settlement program through the EDD’s Settlements Office, along with installment agreements and hardship considerations. Which fits depends on whether liability itself is still contestable and on your ability to pay.

Service Benefits

The Resolution Options

  • EDD Settlements Program — resolving a disputed assessment for a negotiated amount, strongest while an appeal is alive.
  • Installment agreements for paying an established liability over time.
  • Financial hardship relief where collection would prevent basic obligations.

How Its Work

How We Help

We assess whether your best leverage is settling a still-disputed assessment or arranging payment, prepare the proposal or financial package, and negotiate with the EDD — while watching the personal § 1735 exposure so a business settlement doesn’t leave an owner liable.

EDD settlements turn on the facts and litigation risk; we set honest expectations and make no guarantees.
