David Cho is a licensed tax attorney who specializes in helping cafe owners resolve IRS debt through attorney-led negotiation and resolution strategies. He understands the unique tax challenges of running a cafe including high volume daily cash and card transactions, tip income reporting for baristas and counter staff, payroll tax obligations, and the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty that makes owners personally liable for unpaid employment taxes.

IRS Tax Problems Cafe Owners Face Every Day

  • Unreported cash and card income. High volume daily transactions create income reporting challenges and the IRS uses bank deposit analysis and point of sale records to identify gaps in reporting.
  • Tip income reporting failures. Cafes must track and report barista and counter staff tip income. Failure to properly report tips creates serious audit and assessment risk.
  • Unpaid payroll taxes and the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty. Falling behind on payroll deposits for baristas and counter staff triggers the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty making owners personally liable even if the cafe closes.
  • Missed quarterly estimated payments. Seasonal traffic fluctuations and thin margins make quarterly payments difficult to maintain and the penalties compound fast.
  • Unfiled tax returns. The seven day a week demands of running a cafe push many owners into multiple years of unfiled returns without realizing how serious the situation is becoming.
  • IRS liens on cafe equipment and assets. The IRS can file liens against your espresso machines, equipment, and business assets making it impossible to continue operating or secure new financing.
