Guys I am a small business owner that paid a PEO for 5 years to rent my employees. I just got letters from IRS (Feb 2024) saying that I owe almost $800,000.00 because the PEO did not pay the taxes I paid to them. I will be put out of business and many small business will as well based on this type of scam. Could anyone help me to find a defense against the IRS since they were not my employees? I did ask for 941 every year and they stated that they could not provide because all of their clients were combined. I also asked my accountant and he said that was true because those are their employees and not mine. I really need help from this community.
That sucks so bad. The best suggestion I could give is to get with a good CPA who can fight the IRS for you. Here's an article from the IRS's website that addresses this issue. It's not all good news. Looks like the issue depends on your specific contract with you specific PEO. www.irs.gov/government-entities/third-party-payer-arrangements-professional-employer-organizations
