Great! That was easy, wasnt it?

Penalty abated Max. Many thanks ! !

As an "employee" who also has a late year heavy income, I have been randomly reviewed for the late year heavy withholding in the last 30 years. Never had a penalty, as it seems there is nothing improper (albeit unusual) for an "employee" to make most or all of their withholding payments with their last paychecks of the year. One instance was when the IRS did away with the W4 review process. They sent me a lock in letter, which was revoked after a phone call and record review - that I had not had any under withholding issues in the past). My income continues to flow in in a similar manner, and I still have no withholding in Q1-3, with no issues from the collection folks. Anecdotally (I cannot remember the exact details), I know of at least one business owner who is in a similar situation, and while there have been inquiries, any penalty has been abated each time, since the quarterly deposits matched the quarterly income. In one case, the business owner "held" substantial checks from their clients until the new year, and in audit, as a cash based business, the check hold was not an issue to the particular auditor.

You can get the penalty waived by call the PPS. They will look at your prior 3 years and ifthere were no penalties, they will normally abate the penalty. A denial can be appealed after receiving the rejection letter. If you use the paper route, print FTA (First Time Abate) at the top of form 843. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-waives-penalty-for-many-whose-tax-withholding-and-estimated-tax-payments-fell-short-in-2018 The IRS is generally waiving the penalty for any taxpayer who paid at least 85 percent of their total tax liability during the year through federal income tax withholding,quarterly estimated tax payments or a combination of the two. The usual percentage threshold is 90 percent to avoid a penalty.Jan 16, 2019

IRS open year amended returns used to take 4 months to process. Older years ???? I had one that took 18 months and that was only after TAS got involved.

Don't put a building in a corporation.

Check the state laws of each relevant state. Many states have gone to Sales only to apportion income, and therefore income tax filing requirements. However, the payroll regulations of the state in which the employee performs work still rule for payroll taxes.

The employer is my client, and that is indeed why it is an issue. If SUTA is due to Oklahoma, this will create a need for doing a corporate return on a allocation of payroll basis. This would be the only employee creating an Oklahoma requirement, and as such may result in the employee's termination, along with other issues involving the employee.

Just wondering why Edsel is worried about the employer. Paying the SUTA is their issue, not the employee. And it is not the parent's issue either. Unless the parent is the employer? Or the employer is also a client of Edsel? Or the student is going to get a 1099 MISC and not a W2? So long as the student gets a W2 from the employer, Edsel can prepare the returns. It is a slow day and I am bored, so I am thinking about this instead of working like I should be. Tom Modesto, CA
