The questions your team needs answered
Every payroll tax problem intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What best describes your payroll tax issue? | Unpaid deposits and agency notices carry the highest weight because they represent active liabilities or enforcement risk, unlike a filing error that may only need correction. |
| Which tax agency or agencies are involved? | Knowing whether the IRS, a state, or a local agency is involved lets you route the case to whoever handles that jurisdiction before the consultation. |
| Approximately how many pay periods or filing quarters are affected? | Whether one quarter or multiple years are affected shapes the scope of records review and fee estimate before you commit to the case. |
| Are you authorized to make decisions about this business's tax matters? | A low weight on 'no' flags leads submitted by someone other than the decision-maker, so you can confirm authority before scheduling. |
| How soon do you need to address this issue? | An active enforcement deadline is weighted highest so those cases can be prioritized ahead of leads with no immediate deadline. |
| Do you have access to payroll records or prior filings related to this issue? | Confirming access to payroll records upfront tells you whether a records-recovery step is needed before you can take on the case. |

Built for payroll tax problem workflows
| Cliont capability | Payroll Tax Problem application |
|---|---|
| Weighted answer scoring | Unpaid deposits and agency notices or audits carry the highest weights among the payroll tax issue options, so those cases rise above penalty disputes or filing-error inquiries. |
| Authorization gate | A 'no' answer on whether the client can make decisions for the business is weighted low, flagging the lead for a decision-maker check before a consultation is scheduled. |
| Agency-based routing | The multi-select on IRS, state, or local agency involvement lets you route federal payroll tax cases to the appropriate specialist ahead of the consultation. |
| Document request prompts | The yes/no question on access to payroll records or prior filings triggers a prompt to attach those documents when the client confirms they have them. |
Common payroll tax problem lead scenarios
Active enforcement action
The client selects a received notice or audit and flags an immediate deadline, so the intake surfaces this ahead of leads still weighing their options.
Years of unpaid deposits
Unpaid payroll tax deposits stretching across multiple years, with no confirmed access to prior filings, signals a records-recovery step before any consultation is booked.
Bookkeeper, not decision-maker
Someone fills out the intake on behalf of the business but answers 'no' to being authorized to make decisions, prompting a check for the actual owner before scheduling.
Penalty dispute, no deadline
A business disputing penalties or interest with no active deadline is still a legitimate case, but the intake reflects lower urgency than an enforcement scenario.
Unclear issue, early discovery
A lead unsure of both the issue type and which agency is involved needs more clarification than a lead who already knows they're dealing with the IRS over missed deposits.

Payroll Tax Problem lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake tell a missed-deposit case apart from an audit notice?
The intake asks the client to select what best describes their payroll tax issue, with unpaid deposits and received notices or audits weighted as the highest-priority options so those cases stand out from penalty disputes or filing errors.
Does the form capture which tax agency is actually involved?
Yes, clients select whether the IRS, a state agency, a local agency, or some combination is involved, which lets you route federal payroll tax cases differently from state-only disputes before you ever pick up the phone.
How do you avoid booking a consultation with someone who can't actually authorize the engagement?
The intake asks directly whether the person is authorized to make decisions about the business's tax matters, and a 'no' answer is weighted low so those leads can be flagged for confirmation before a consultation slot is used.
Can the intake distinguish an urgent enforcement deadline from someone just researching options?
Yes, clients indicate whether the issue is immediate with an active deadline or enforcement action, needed within a few weeks, or something they're planning ahead for with no immediate deadline.
What if the client doesn't have payroll records or prior filings on hand?
The intake asks whether they have access to payroll records or prior filings related to the issue, so you know upfront whether a records-recovery step is needed before the case can move forward.
How does the intake handle a client who isn't sure how many quarters are affected?
Clients select from one or two pay periods, several over the past year, ongoing over multiple years, or not sure, which helps you gauge case scope before scheduling a consultation.
