Has IRS expanded definition of reponsible parties for payroll taxes?
Q:
Subject: Tax questionMr Guru - I've heard from 2 other CPA's plus my Paychex Representative that, after Jan 1, IRS is going to hold payroll preparers, be they CPAs or whoever, responsible for unpaid 941 taxes. Have you heard anything along these lines? How can IRS do that in the first place? Let me know what you know.Thanks,
A:
I haven't heard about that payroll tax change and can't find any mention of it on the IRS website. You should ask those other folks for some documentation of this change.
