Abstract:
Third parties who directly pay another's payrolls can be held liable for the full amount of taxes required to be withheld but not paid to the Government (subject to the 25% limitation). IRC 3505 deals with persons who supply funds to an employer for the purpose of paying wages. The notification that a third party is paying or supplying wages will usually be made by filing of the Form 4219, Statement of Liability of Lender, Surety, or Other Person for Withholding Taxes. The Form 4219, Statement of Liability of Lender, Surety, or Other Person for Withholding Taxes, is to be submitted and associated with each employer and for every calendar quarter for which a liability under section 3505 is incurred.
Emergency Justfication:
We are requesting emergency approval to bring into compliance Form 4219 with PRA requirements. Failure to make this form available for use will prevent taxpayers from reporting and receiving credit for payroll wages paid by a third party. Failure to have Form 4219 available to IRS will also complicate proper recordation of such payments which could lead to inappropriate tax levies or audit actions.
