IRS payroll tax problems can cripple a business and devastate its leadership. For business owners and corporations, few issues carry more legal and financial risk than Form 941 and 940 payroll tax liabilities. If your business is facing an IRS investigation, delinquency, audit, or collections related to employment taxes, this isn’t just a tax issue—it’s a crisis that demands immediate, expert-level intervention.
At Mike Habib, EA, we specialize in high-stakes tax representation for businesses, with over 20 years of success resolving IRS 941/940 payroll tax cases. We’re not just tax preparers—we’re federally licensed tax representatives, authorized by the U.S. Treasury to defend and represent business taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states.
Form 941 is used by employers to report income taxes withheld from employees’ wages and to pay the employer’s portion of Social Security and Medicare taxes.
Form 940 is used to report and pay Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA).

And they act accordingly:
