St. Charles Payroll Taxes

As a business owner, you must make quarterly tax deposits to the IRS and complete a series of filings for all taxes withheld. If you are behind on paying taxes for your company, watch out. St. Charles payroll taxes often create major problems for small business owners. Not filing, paying late, or borrowing from payroll taxes is against the law.

Unlike individual accounts, the IRS is not bound by limitations from Congress that protect civilian living standards. This means IRS officers have more latitude to take action against delinquent payroll tax accounts than with individual accounts.

Businesses are easy targets for the IRS and they are tremendously assertive while pursuing the collection of this type of tax. They would rather seize your business assets, close you down, and sell your assets at auction than allow you to continue amassing additional payroll tax liabilities.

There are many filing requirements and strict responsibilities when it comes to payroll tax obligations. The payroll tax money collected from employees to pay their share of federal withholding tax, FICA, and Medicare (Social Security) does not belong to the business and must be paid to the government.
