Payroll taxes and personal liability
Why an entity does not shield unpaid payroll tax.
Classify workers by how the work is actually controlled, not by the label.
Remit withheld payroll tax on time; it is held in trust, not yours.
Know the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty reaches responsible people personally.
Understand Section 6672 can reach personal assets through the entity.
Test your classification against the economic reality framework.
Fix a misclassification before an examination finds it.
Free, and yours to edit — tick items off on the web or in the MyCheck app.
