I work with a bookkeeper who recently accompanied a mutual client to a meeting with the IRS. The bookkeeper prepared all the 2007 and 2008 payroll tax returns, which the TP signed and submitted. However, without any payment. Of course, now the IRS is pursuing this $100,000 plus and during this meeting (a request for additional information and filing of all corporate and individual returns through 2008) suggested that the bookkeeper, if she was the one making the EFTPS (some were made) payments, could be considered a responsible party. I've not heard this and wonder if anyone else has and whether this is correct or not. Thank you.
