<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1452307, member: 26302&quot;]Well, I would say &quot;many&quot; businesses are in serious, &quot;perp walk&quot; trouble. Any employer who has employees and does not pay them under a normal pay system, (employer paying half SS, unemployment taxes, payroll withholding, etc), is simply asking for the door to be knocked down and being taken straight to jail without passing Go. The IRS and state tax authorities always have this as their #1 enforcement issue. Income taxes and other taxes can be put on payment plans and the like. There is absolutely no grace period or any wiggle room for employment taxes. This is because the government knows if they do not get their cut up front, most of the time the people owing the taxes will not have the money at some future point. Having up front withholding is absolutely CRITICAL for the system to function, therefor there is legally no ability for the IRS to waive anything, what you describe is an immediate jailable offense.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if you are describing businesses treating employees as independent contractors, that is a different matter. They can try it, but there are series of tests you have to jump through to prove it. However, once an employee is ruled an employee, the employer risks serious and immediate jail time if they do not pay them through a traditional payroll system.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
