What we do
Payroll is one of the services this practice offers to employers in Sugar Land, across Fort Bend County and around Houston. It sits beside bookkeeping, tax return preparation and tax resolution, so payroll, the books and the returns can be with one firm.
Payroll tax problems are on the list too. An employer who is behind on payroll taxes has a tax resolution matter as well as a payroll one, and this practice offers both.

How payroll pricing works
There is no published payroll price on this page. Ask for it on the 15-minute intro call.
For a sense of the market, the payroll software list prices set out in our payroll cost guide for Houston small businesses are a monthly base fee plus a per-person fee, and the rules about which workers are billable vary by provider. A bill built like that moves with headcount. That is how the software is priced, and it says nothing about the fee here.
On who carries the tax when payroll is outsourced, the IRS says employers are ultimately responsible for paying the income tax withheld and both the employer and employee portions of Social Security and Medicare taxes, with an exception in certain situations for customers of a Certified Professional Employer Organization (IRS, outsourcing payroll and third-party payers).
Why payroll tax debt is treated differently
Part of a payroll tax deposit is money withheld from employees' pay. The IRS calls these trust fund taxes, because the employer holds the employee's money in trust until the federal tax deposit is made (IRS, employment taxes and the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty).
That is why the debt can reach a person as well as the company. The same IRS page says the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty may be assessed against any person who is responsible for collecting or paying those taxes and willfully fails to collect or pay them, and that the penalty equals the unpaid balance of the trust fund tax.
If you are already behind, read why the IRS treats unpaid payroll taxes differently. The service that covers it here is tax resolution and IRS help. IRS notice help covers common balance-due and levy notices such as CP14, CP501, CP504 and LT11.

Payroll FAQs
We are behind on payroll taxes. How bad is this?
It is serious, because part of what is owed was withheld from employees. The IRS says its Trust Fund Recovery Penalty may be assessed against any person who is responsible for collecting or paying those taxes and willfully fails to collect or pay them (IRS, employment taxes and the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty). Start by finding out exactly which deposits and returns are outstanding. Payroll tax problems are part of the tax resolution work at this practice.
How much does payroll cost?
There is no published payroll price on this page. Ask for it on the 15-minute intro call. For how published payroll software list prices are built, see the payroll cost guide for Houston small businesses.
If someone else runs our payroll, are we still responsible for the taxes?
Yes, in general. The IRS says employers are ultimately responsible for paying the income tax withheld and both the employer and employee portions of Social Security and Medicare taxes, with an exception in certain situations for customers of a Certified Professional Employer Organization (IRS, outsourcing payroll and third-party payers).
Are the people who work for us contractors or employees?
It depends on how the working relationship operates, and a written contract is only one of the facts that count. The IRS says all evidence of the degree of control and independence must be considered, and it groups that evidence into three categories: behavioral, financial and type of relationship (IRS, independent contractor or employee). If it is still unclear, the same page says either the business or the worker may file Form SS-8 and the IRS will determine the worker's status.
