The Tax Reality of Running a Trucking Operation
Why Trucking and Logistics Professionals Face Serious IRS Tax Problems
Trucking is one of the most IRS scrutinized industries in the country. Owner operators who lease their own trucks earn 1099 income with no withholding and owe self-employment tax of 15.3 percent on net earnings on top of federal income tax. Large equipment deductions, fuel costs, and per diem deductions create complex tax situations that require careful documentation. Trucking companies with driver employees face serious payroll tax obligations and the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty. And the reality of being on the road constantly leaves almost zero bandwidth for quarterly payments and consistent tax management.
If Any of These Sound Familiar Speak with a Tax Attorney Today
IRS Tax Problems Trucking and Logistics Professionals Face Every Day
- Unpaid self-employment taxes for owner operators. Every dollar of net earnings from trucking as an owner operator is subject to self-employment tax of 15.3 percent on top of federal income tax creating a combined obligation that catches many drivers completely off guard.
- Missed quarterly estimated payments. Being on the road constantly makes quarterly payments extremely easy to miss and the failure to pay penalties compound every quarter they are skipped.
- Payroll tax problems and the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty. Trucking companies with driver employees who fall behind on payroll deposits face the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty making owners personally liable even if the company closes.
- Equipment deduction disputes. Large truck and equipment deductions that are not properly documented create serious IRS audit risk for owner operators and trucking companies alike.
- Unfiled tax returns. The demands of long haul driving and managing a trucking operation push many drivers and owners into multiple years of unfiled returns.
- IRS liens on trucks and equipment. The IRS can file liens against your trucks, trailers, and equipment making it impossible to continue operating or secure new financing for fleet expansion.
