Service Overview

Payroll Audits Carry Personal Risk

A payroll tax examination centers on trust fund taxes — the income tax and employee FICA you withhold in trust for the government. When those aren’t paid, the IRS can assess a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty personally against owners, officers, and any “responsible person,” piercing the corporate shield.

What the IRS Examines

  • Worker classification — misclassifying employees as contractors is the top payroll audit issue.
