Every business has to remit payroll taxes to the IRS quarterly, after withholding the taxes from every paycheck. Tax payments are due in March, June, September, and December. As a business owner, you are responsible for calculating the appropriate amounts of federal income tax, Medicare, and social security tax to withhold from staff paychecks.

If you have a company and have W-2 employees, you are required to withhold payroll taxes. You have to:
Depending on the size of your business, you may be required to remit payroll taxes immediately after withholding them.
Similar to failure to pay individual taxes, failure to pay payroll taxes will result in penalties, interest on back taxes, and having to deal with IRS collections. Even neglecting to pay payroll taxes on a quarterly basis can mean large penalties, even if you are withholding the taxes properly and are planning to make an annual payment. Penalties quickly add up, making it harder to catch up with back tax payments.
If you have neglected to remit your payroll taxes to the IRS, your personal property might be at risk. Given you are a business owner, and the IRS finds you directly responsible for the failure to pay taxes, they might issue a lien or levy on your personal property. Not paying payroll taxes for your business could even lead to losing your home if you do not catch up with payments in a prompt manner.
Even if you have not yet received a notice from the IRS concerning back payroll taxes, you should work with a professional tax resolution company and bring your taxes up to date as soon as possible.
