See also: How to Verify State Withholding Tax Payments
Payroll managers should, as a best practice to protect company assets, verify tax payments made on the company's behalf by any third party. The IRS reminds us that:
"the employer is ultimately responsible for payment of federal tax liabilities. Even though [a] third party is making the deposits, the employer is the responsible party. Employers should use EFTPS (Electronic Federal Tax Payment System), to confirm payments made on their behalf electronically 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through the Internet, or by phone. Enroll online at http://www.eftps.gov, or call 800-555-4477 for an enrollment form."
SSA/IRS Reporter, Spring 2006
