CIVIL TRUST FUND
RECOVERY PENALTY

An IRS Trust Fund Recovery Penalty is when the IRS holds a person personally responsible for monies that a business may owe to the IRS for payroll taxes or other trust fund taxes. An IRS Trust Fund Recovery Penalty can lead to various forms of IRS collection activity. The IRS will issue a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty against anyone the IRS feels may be responsible – often times against those who have no responsibility or ability to pay. Some ways that we can assist you is to argue that the penalty was unfairly assessed against you – or that the amount assessed against you far exceeds your ability to pay.
