Learning Objective

  • To explain the proper defenses and real-life procedure of a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty Interview, conducted by the IRS.
  • To discuss why IRS needs to document that they have followed procedures to determine all of the responsible Principals of a business entity that has failed to pay employment taxes.
  • To review the before, during, and after phases of the TFRP Interview Meeting.

Course Overview

The Trust Fund Recovery Penalty is a unique part of a Representation practice that every EA should have a chance to see.  

The 4180 Interview is an interview conducted by the Internal Revenue Service when a business owes 941 taxes (employment taxes).  A portion of the 941 trust fund debt can be personally assessed to one or more individuals within the business when employment taxes are owed to the IRS. 

The IRS can assess the willful and responsible parties, and thus the interview is used to determine who the willful and responsible parties are, and based on such an interview, the IRS will propose the personal assessment of the trust fund recovery penalty.

As tax professionals, it is our job to properly prepare ourselves and our clients for the meeting and to defend the assessment. 

Key topics covered in this course:

  • Trust Fund - Background
  • The Trust Fund Recovery Process does not cover
  • Establishing Responsibility
  • The Trust Fund Interview: Preparations
  • Indicators of Responsibility
  • Tax Bill Challenge case

Join this CE Tax Webinar, we will discuss strategies that may even be available to us to choose one officer to be the person who "goes down with the ship".
