Arizona IRS Payroll Audits

Payroll tax audits are conducted to: 

• Verify that all money paid to employees is being reported to the IRS.
• Verify that workers are being correctly classified as employees rather than independent contractors.
• Verify that employers and employee are filing all required returns.
• Making sure withholdings for Social Security and Medicare are being correctly reported and paid in on a timely basis.

Arizona IRS payroll tax audits close down more businesses than any other IRS action.  If you lose here the tax assessed against the business will eventually be assessed against you as the owner.  These taxes are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.

The IRS gets leads from business competitors, ex-employees and other government agencies such as Unemployment Offices.  Take Arizona IRS payroll tax audits seriously.  In fact I tell my clients that if they cannot pay their payroll taxes, they don’t have a business.  Do not fool yourself into thinking that you can “borrow” by not filing and paying your employees withholdings.  The interest and penalties are more than even profitable businesses can afford.  You would have more luck going to the casinos than not paying your payroll taxes on time to save your business.
