TIME TO BE FREE OF TAX DEBT
HOW WILL WE GET THE TAX RELIEF?
Trust Fund Recovery Penalty
- The Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP) is a penalty assessed to business owners and business associates who have withheld and not submitted employee payroll taxes, such as federal income tax, social security tax and Medicare tax.
