Sometimes, businesses fall behind in remitting collected sales tax to the New York State authorities. Also, New York State authorities may sometimes audit a business and determine that the business has not turned over all sales taxes collected.
An audit which determines that the business failed to turn over sales tax may result in felony prosecution, which may expose the owners to imprisonment.
When a business fails to remit to the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) payroll taxes collected from its employee(s), the IRS may impose Trust Fund Penalty against the owners or officers for the unremitted funds.
If the IRS determines that you are a responsible person (responsible for collecting and turning over the payroll taxes), you may be held liable for the funds. The IRS may then deploy any of its formidable arsenal of collection tools against the individual to collect the debt from the responsible person.
Once a tax return has been flagged for an audit, the taxpayer, whether an individual or business, needs the prompt assistance of a knowledgeable expert. An audit can be stressful, invasive, and invariably unpleasant for the taxpayer.
Generally, the IRS Examiner conducting an audit knows more about the tax laws than you do. Going through an IRS audit without a tax attorney, whether as an individual or business, puts you at a clear disadvantage.
Once the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS (CI) commences an investigation against you, you need the urgent assistance of a tax lawyer experienced in criminal tax defense.
If you are ever contacted by IRS Agents from CI, you should immediately contact an experienced criminal tax defense lawyer before you provide any further information to the Agents.
Under federal and New York State laws, if a taxpayer does not have sufficient assets or income to full pay his or her tax liabilities, the taxpayer is entitled to make an offer to pay less than the full amount of the tax debt.
The Offer-In-Compromise (OIC) program is a very powerful tax relief program that can legally reduce your tax debt by thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even eliminate it completely.
As part of its very powerful collection enforcement authority, the IRS can file public liens against you and ruin your credit. They can also garnish your wages, impose levies, seize your assets and freeze and levy your bank accounts.

Failure to file tax returns when due can attract liabilities anywhere from benign penalties and interests up to and including criminal charges.
IRS and state taxing authorities have a slate of penalties and charges that may attach for failure to file tax returns when due. In many cases, the penalties for failure to file may be much larger penalties than for failure to pay.
Taxpayers may request an abatement of penalties imposed against them. Under certain circumstance, requests for penalty abatement may be granted, which may reduce your tax debt by thousands of dollars.

Taxpayers who are overwhelmed with their tax bill may apply for an Installment Payment plan. Under certain circumstances, some taxpayers may qualify for a Partial PayInstallment Agreement (PPIA), where the taxpayer pays only a portion of the tax bill in full satisfaction of the entire tax bill.
Generally, married couples who file joint returns are jointly and severally liable for tax debts arising from the tax filing. This mean that each person is responsible for 100% of the tax liability.
However, under particular circumstances, a qualifying joint tax filer may successfully file a claim that he/she should not be held liable for some or all of the debts arising from the joint returns. This relief is referred to as Innocent Spouse Relief.
