Key Take Away :
This webinar will cover situations in which a business might receive IRS notices, how to respond to the notices, and how a business can protect itself through best practices and due diligence.
Overview :
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has many different types of notices that they may send out to taxpayers. It’s important to carefully read the notice to determine what the IRS is requesting.
Some notices are information-only; that is, they do not require a response. Other notices require a prompt response; failure to respond timely could result in additional tax, interest, and penalties.
Business taxpayers often receive notices related to payroll tax compliance and information return reporting.
Why Should You Attend :
The IRS sends notices to taxpayers for a variety of reasons. Just receiving a notice from the IRS can be an intimidating experience and, in some cases, the recipient of a notice is afraid to open it. Despite IRS efforts to write notices in a way that they are understandable, the notices often contain highly technical or confusing language. They are usually form letters that are computer generated and may refer to several possible reasons for the notice with little or barely noticeable specific information regarding the taxpayer’s specific situation.Understanding your IRS Notice, how to handle IRS Notices and dealing with IRS Notices, in the proper way is important.
Failure to respond to a notice when required can lead to additional problems such as improper or avoidable tax, interest or penalty assessments. Failure to respond timely can as result in the loss or unintentional waiver of certain rights such as the right to appeal or file a claim with the tax court.
In cases involving tax withholding and tax deposits, the IRS may also hold the taxpayer liable for unwithheld or undeposited taxes, or even failure to withhold the correct amount of tax. In other cases, it may propose to hold individuals personally liable for taxes that were withheld but were not deposited by a business. It is imperative that you use the available sources like IRS attorney, IRS help/ IRS tax help, IRS tax relief options, tax advisor, tax consultant, tax debt relief, tax resolution services for your existing IRS problems.
