Payroll & Trust Fund Recovery Penalties

Stabilize quickly, protect operations, and resolve payroll tax liabilities—including TFRP exposure.

How we help

Immediate triage: confirm current deposits, stop compounding penalties, and address urgent notices.
Compliance first: get Forms 941/940 current, fix deposit schedules, and align payroll processes.
TFRP defense: organize facts for “willful/responsible” determinations; prepare Form 4180 responses and narratives.
Resolution path: installment agreements, penalty relief where appropriate, and prevention plan.
