You are probably somewhat familiar with the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty or TFRP. This is a civil process that asserts the employee portion (Social Security, Medicare, and Federal income taxes withheld) of delinquent payroll taxes against business owners and other individuals. The IRS has wide discretion in asserting the TFRP, but did you know that there are certain strategies you can adopt to help mitigate the TFRP, both pre-and-post assessment? This program will focus on trust fund issues, along with pre-planning strategies, appealing the proposed assessment, and attempting to resolve the TFRP after the fact. This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.
