Payroll Tax Support when notices arrive.
Help with payroll tax deposits, reconciliations, and agency notices, backed by Enrolled Agents who can represent you before the IRS.
Payroll taxes carry real consequences when deposits are late or returns do not match. TreeStar provides payroll tax support for employers who need deposits reviewed, quarterly and annual filings reconciled, or a notice from the IRS or the EDD resolved. Our Enrolled Agents are federally authorized tax practitioners with unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS, and, where permitted, state tax agencies. We research the issue, reconcile the records, respond on your behalf, and explain what happened in plain English. Where penalties apply, we help evaluate whether relief may be available.
How we help
A check that payroll tax deposits match liabilities and were made on time.
Quarterly and annual payroll returns reconciled to payroll records and the books.
Research and response for IRS and EDD payroll notices.
Enrolled Agent representation before the IRS and, where permitted, state tax agencies.

Common questions
Can you talk to the IRS for me?
Yes. With your authorization, our Enrolled Agents can represent you before the IRS on payroll tax matters.
What if the notice is from the EDD?
We help with California payroll notices as well, representing you where permitted and working with you on the response.
Can penalties be reduced?
Sometimes. Relief may be available depending on your compliance history and the reasons for the issue. We review the facts and advise on options.
