Are You an Illinois Restaurant or Bar Owner Who Owes Taxes?

Tax Resolution Can Provide Tax Debt Relief that Gets You Cooking Again in Cook County

You always wanted to own a Cook County restaurant or bar. Operate a place where people could chill. Let their hair down. Have a tasty meal. Enjoy the camaraderie of friends.

The time and tasks were incessant. The repeat patrons from Cook County, and smiles on people’s faces, made it worthwhile. Your dream was alive.

Why did the foreboding letters from the Internal Revenue Service, claiming you owe back taxes, start? Why does the Illinois Department of Revenue assert you owe sales taxes, or payroll taxes … or both? What happened?

The reasons could be many. The nature of your business, for one. Being cash-intensive operations, bars and restaurants are often targeted for audits by tax agencies in Cook County.

Sometimes inquiries are triggered when records from credit card companies doesn’t match with the tax returns from these types of businesses.

Have you unknowingly filled out sales tax forms incorrectly, or missed filings? If so, the IRS and IDOR calculate what you owe – and it always leans toward more, not less.

It’s conceivable your filed tax returns don’t list all eligible costs (especially payroll and food), leaving you paying more taxes than you should be.

The “why,” at this point, might be irrelevant. As tax troubles grow, you’re just concerned about losing the place – “your” Cook County place – that you labored so hard to build. Perhaps, sadly, it’s already closed … but the tax collectors keep chasing you.
