Federal Tax Liability, Penalties and Interest |
Federal Tax Liability, Penalties and Interest | NOTE 10 — Federal Tax Liability, Penalties and Interest From the first quarter of 2017 through October 31, 2023, the Company failed to remit U.S. federal taxes from amounts withheld from employee wages and failed to remit the employer portion of such taxes. In addition, during the same period, the Company did not file quarterly federal tax returns on Form 941 to report income taxes and payroll taxes withheld from employee wages. As a result, the Company has an accrued payroll tax liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheets that amounted to $5.94 million and $6.23 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company has devised and implemented a plan to become compliant with its obligations, including hiring appropriate counsel, preparing and filing appropriate historical filings, making payments, and engaging in discussions with appropriate parties, including the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). There can be no assurance that the IRS will agree to the terms of a settlement and instead not demand immediate payment of the amounts due. Even if a settlement offer is accepted, the terms of any settlement may require substantial upfront payments, which the Company may not have sufficient funds available for. In addition, willful failure to comply with statutory obligations to collect, account for and pay over taxes imposed on employees is a federal criminal offense. There can be no assurance that the Department of Justice will not commence criminal charges against the Company and management for failure to remit payroll taxes to the IRS. The Company has remitted payments to the IRS for employee income tax withholdings as well as both the employee and employer portions of payroll taxes. All payroll taxes and withholdings for the payroll periods from November 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025, have been fully paid. However, the Company submitted payments for four payroll cycles after the applicable deadlines and has accrued the related penalties and interest associated with these late payments. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not fully remitted to the IRS the employee income taxes withheld and payroll taxes accrued prior to November 1, 2023. The related failure-to-deposit penalties and associated interest have been calculated and recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Accrued federal tax liability, penalties, and interest.” On January 8, 2025, the Company remitted an additional $500,000 to the IRS toward satisfying these outstanding liabilities.
