Being Pursued for Taxes Owed by Your Business’s Buyer
When the IRS cannot collect due taxes from the party who purchased your business—despite them assuming assets and liabilities when they bought it—the IRS often tries to collect the tax debt from the original business owner: you. Even with your bill of sale proving you no longer own the business, it’s a stressful situation that can be difficult to get out of.
The stakes are high in this scenario, and you require specialized tax experts who understand both finances and the law. The Schneider team has that dual expertise, and we’ve successfully resolved hundreds of challenging IRS cases for Hamilton and Marion Country business owners. (Though we’re not a law firm, you can get representation from James J. Schneider, Attorney at Law.)
