TOUGH IRS POLICIES ON REPEATER EMPLOYMENT TAX


LIABILITIES

Repeater Cases

The Internal Revenue Manual provides the following guidelines for negotiating with in-business repeaters:

"... if taxpayers:

• are in business,

• are currently pyramiding trust fund taxes, and

• have three or more trust fund bal dues assigned to the collection field function, then, they are considered
"repeaters." These taxpayers may not -- immediately -- be granted installment agreements.

If, however, after contact, taxpayers originally classified as repeaters:

• do not continue to accrue liabilities; and,

• begin making FTDs; and,

• file all appropriate returns (so that they are in compliance with all filing requirements); then, they are no
longer considered repeaters and may qualify for installment agreements." [IRM 5.14.7.2 ]
