Course Overview

This course is valid up to December 31st, 2023 for CPP and FPC Professionals. It is advisable to complete this course before that to get the credit on time.

Sometimes businesses can do business accords the world, but fail to understand various compliances. Some of the major aspects include payroll, payroll taxes, payroll withholding, and exemptions, amid the other COVID challenges. Modern-day compliance is a disciplinary task with heavy consequences. Therefore businesses are required to ensure that they follow all the essentials.

This CE/CPE webinar focuses on federal tax filing and deposit requirements if a business issues payroll.

Special attention will be paid to corporations taxed under subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code since a “reasonable wage” requirement exists for many shareholders actively participating in the business. It will outline the differences between contract labor and employees so business clients may be counseled on Worker Classification.

The number one reason why small businesses end up in the Internal Revenue Services Collection is due to payroll tax liabilities. Best described as the “easiest loan to take and the hardest to pay back,” payroll taxes represent nearly 75% of all revenues into the United States Treasury, and therefore an issue of utmost importance to the IRS. Hence the IRS has become much more aggressive in its plan to close this collection gap, including increased criminal enforcement for unpaid payroll taxes. The impact of the IRS's increased enforcement activities is to send more taxpayers scrambling for professional help in resolving their IRS problems.

Attendees in this Online CE/CPE tax webinar will learn about personal liability through the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP) assessment for parties that are deemed responsible for payroll deposits. Strategies, IRS process, and timelines for TFRP representation, including the 4180 interviews, will be covered.

  • Wages: Corporate Officers
  • S-Corporation Specific & S-Corporation Exceptions
