NAPEO URGES IRS TO REVERSE PAYROLL TAX LIABILITY POLICY

We sent a letter recently to IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel urging the agency to reverse its recent payroll tax liability policy holding PEOs solely liable for tax credits taken by their clients. In the letter, we laid out the case that the IRS’s position is at odds with a 2021 congressional directive regarding tax liability and that a PEO/CPEO cannot be held responsible for payroll tax credits based on information solely within the control of the client.
