Social Security, Medicare and income tax withholding from employee wages is just part of normal business operations. Failure to file and pay your payroll
941 taxes is a sure way to get in trouble with the IRS. This can lead to large IRS payroll tax penalties and debt, but may also be considered a federal crime. Penalties assessed on delinquent payroll deposits or filings can dramatically increase the amount owed in just a matter of months. Therefore, if you don’t take quick action to address business audits and employer payroll tax problems, you will find yourself quickly out of business.
