The IRS uses Notice CP163 to remind taxpayers of their past due taxes. Form 941, the Employee Withholding form, is usually involved in these notices.
This is what the notice looks like:
These taxes involve Employee Withholding, and they are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. The amounts will likely be assessed against all Responsible Persons in the business, personally. Unless the business ceases the IRS has two avenues of pursuing the taxes.
If the business remains on-going they will pursue the business liability against the business. If the business has closed the IRS will likely pursue the “Trust Fund Recovery Penalty” against ALL “Responsible Parties”.
The major problem businesses face is that the amount of penalties & interest charged by the IRS are so enormous, they force the closing of the business. If unable to pay, this may be a viable strategy. If this happens, the IRS will likely seek the “Trust Fund Recovery Penalty” against ALL “Responsible Parties”. If so, EACH “Responsible Party” will have to make arrangement for personal resolution. But, if the circumstances are good, an Offer in Compromise may be recommended.
