Quick Answer

The IRS Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP) converts business 941 payroll tax debt into a personal liability assessed against responsible individuals — business owners, CFOs, accountants with signing authority, and others involved in payroll tax decisions. For Maryland business owners, this means your personal home, bank accounts, and assets are at risk for your business’s unpaid payroll taxes.
TFRP Financing in Maryland: What You Need to Know
The TFRP equals 100% of the “trust fund” portion of unpaid 941 payroll taxes — the employee portion of Social Security, Medicare, and federal income tax withholding. The IRS can assess the TFRP against every responsible party simultaneously. In Maryland, the IRS has 3 years from the date of assessment to collect the TFRP, and can file personal liens, levy personal bank accounts, and garnish wages of the responsible individual.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who qualifies as a “responsible party” for the TFRP in Maryland?
The IRS defines a “responsible party” broadly: anyone with the duty to collect, account for, and pay over trust fund taxes, AND who willfully failed to do so. In Maryland businesses, this typically includes the business owner, any officer or director with financial authority, any bookkeeper or accountant with check-signing authority, and board members who directed tax funds to be used for other expenses.
Can financing address both the business 941 debt and the personal TFRP in Maryland?
Yes. The most efficient approach for Maryland business owners facing both business 941 debt and a personal TFRP assessment is to finance the full business tax debt payoff. When the business pays the IRS in full, the trust fund portion is satisfied — which satisfies the TFRP simultaneously. Tax Funds can arrange financing to accomplish this in a single transaction.
What is the minimum tax debt for Maryland TFRP Financing financing?
Tax Funds works with Maryland businesses with a minimum of $10,000 in tax debt. There is no maximum. Apply regardless of the size of your tax situation.
