Additional payroll tax assesed by the IRS

So far two of my Employers have received notices from the IRS for additional taxes charged for on the 4th Quarter 2020.  The notice does not give an explanation, includes penalties and interest.  Once of them got a notice that is was sent to collections with no previous notices.  There are all from 2020.

Additional payroll tax assesed by the IRS

Hello there, @Citibank downloads.

 

I want to make sure the IRS notices received by your employers get checked, and I'd like to redirect you to the best support group available.

 

Normally, IRS notices should have explanations on how to settle tax penalties. Since it doesn't provide resolutions, I recommend contacting the IRS. This way, they can explain the notice further and gives solutions on how to settle it.

 

Come back to this post and let us know how it goes, @itibank downloads. The Community team and I are always here to provide further assistance.

I'm here to ensure you can pay your tax penalty in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), @Oreo2. Let's go over some details to help you achieve the task in no time.

 

You can electronically file the penalty by adding the amount under the Expenses column when you have existing liabilities under the Pay Liabilities tab. I'll guide you on how:
 

  1. Open QBDT and go to the Employees menu.
  2. Click on Payroll Center, then the Pay Liabilities tab.
  3. Select the liability you want to pay by putting a checkmark on the box beside it.
  4. Tap the View/Pay button.


     
  5. On the Expenses column, add the Penalty and the Amount.
  6. Click Add New to add it under the Account column.
  7. Once done, Save and Close.
  8. Fill in the necessary information and make sure to tick on E-payment beside Check.
  9. Click Recalculate to compute the amount and proceed with the process.
