• Payroll taxes are a special kind of tax – what’s referred to as a “Trust Fund” Tax -- where an employer collects tax on behalf of the government by withholding from employees pay in “trust” that these withholdings will be deposited to the US Treasury. These are then shown in the form of balances as IRS Civil Penalties if and when you are personally assessed with liability on these unpaid taxes.

• If these deposits are not made, the IRS will hold anyone who is listed as an officer liable, even if you are just a bookkeeper and do not have the authority to make deposits on behalf of the business without senior approval. Anyone who has check-signing capabilities can be liable! It is best to avoid being hit with a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty as opposed to trying to reverse things after you are hit with the balances.
