Business tax problems tend to occur within these 3 categories:

Payroll Tax Problems

Payroll tax problems can lead to the seizure of your business’ assets by the IRS. When business’ experience slow cash flow, you may be tempted to borrow from the money set aside to pay payroll taxes. Payroll taxes are Trust Fund Taxes and if you don’t pay them, when due, you can be certain the IRS will do everything in their power to collect them, and will not sympathize with business owners who do not comply.

Worker Classification Issues - Employee or Contractor?

Your workers may or may not be independent contractors, despite the way you choose to treat them for tax purposes. If you classify them as contractors, when indeed the IRS or State regulations label them as W-2 employees, then you will owe payroll taxes on the compensation you paid them. To make matters worse, you’ll owe penalties and interest because of the classification error.

Overstated Tax Deductions

If you overstate deductions or under report income on your tax return, it goes without saying that you will owe back taxes, as well as penalties and interest. Even in the case of honest mistakes, you’re going to owe the IRS more money as opposed to paying them in full in form of quarterly estimates throughout the year. The characterization of items of income and expense are not always crystal clear.
