Product Details
Following the Recession, employment tax compliance has become one of the chief focuses of the IRS, particularly for small businesses. IRS employment tax audits have significantly increased, and IRS employment tax collection efforts, including liens, levies, business shut-downs, and imposition of the trust fund recovery penalty against individuals associated with a business, have increased as well. Federal criminal tax prosecutions for not paying employment taxes are at an all-time high. The State of South Carolina, including the Department of Revenue and the Department of Employment and Workforce, have also stepped-up efforts to audit and collect South Carolina employee income tax withholdings and South Carolina employee Uninsurance Act payments, often with through draconian efforts, and SCDOR has also increased its own criminal prosecutions against individuals associated with businesses that do not pay employee tax withholdings to the State. In this environment, practitioners must be aware of employment tax rules and procedures, how they affect their clients, and also how they may affect the practitioner and his or her law practice, too!
