Trust Fund Tax Attorneys

Last updated on June 13, 2024

Managing a family business or another commercial enterprise is a complex endeavor, especially in a volatile and intensely competitive economic environment. If you have made difficult decisions or accounting mistakes that created a trust fund tax liability, it is essential to address this matter as quickly and proactively as you can. At Demetrius J. Karos, Ltd. we can guide you through your trust fund tax needs, starting with explaining the tax system.

Trust Fund Tax Explained

Trust fund taxes refer to the income, Social Security, and Medicare taxes that come out of an employee’s wages. These tax withholdings are held in trust by an employer and are paid to the Treasury through Federal Tax Deposits (FTD). Employers are required to ensure these taxes are properly withheld and deposited. If they fail to manage these taxes properly, they can face severe penalties, including the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP). We can review your situation to determine if you are at risk for any penalties and help you avoid any tax violations in the future.

Did You Fall Behind On Payroll Taxes? Personal Assets Now At Risk?

More than your business assets may well be at stake. People who have failed to fulfill payroll tax obligations to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commonly see levies and liens placed on personal assets — including their bank accounts and family homes. At Demetrius J. Karos, Ltd., you can get counsel and learn options from a metro Chicago and Joliet trust fund tax lawyer with decades of relevant experience.
