Trust Fund Recovery
Unlike income tax liability, certain payroll tax liabilities may be collected from individuals, such as the owners and officers of a business, under the assessment of a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty. Although called a penalty, the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty functions as a secondary collection method for delinquent payroll taxes. The Trust Fund Recovery Penalty can hold company officers and anyone else the IRS deems a “responsible party” (for example, employees with check signing authority or discretion to make payments) to be held personally liable for the tax liability. If you receive a notice that a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty has been proposed against you, you should seek legal counsel immediately to minimize potential consequences.
