State abates $101,000 in erroneously assessed employment taxes

Our client received a notice from the state that his business owed about $101,000 in payroll taxes. He had hired a payroll company who promised to handle everything but they forgot to tell the state he was now paying employees through them so the state thought he still had employees. After we submitted correct wage reports to the state, the state fully abated the assessments and closed out the account.
