1. Efforts to prevent payroll tax delinquencies
IRS Collection is piloting an initiative to make early contact with employers who may be falling behind in their payroll taxes.
When it appears an employer may owe a balance at the end of the quarter, revenue officers will be in contact before the quarterly payroll tax return, Form 941, is due.
The goal is to address payroll tax issues before they become unmanageable.
Information on federal tax deposits is available in IRS Publication 15, Employer’s Tax Guide.
