I'm an accountant and am familiar with taxes and the laws that govern them. Your employer is required by law to take taxes (Social Security, Medicare & Income tax) out of your weekly pay checks. IF you are an EMPLOYEE and NOT a subcontractor. Your employer is required by law to send that money to the US Treasury. If you actually received a paycheck each week WITH A STUB that shows taxes were being taken out of your paycheck, and you have reason to believe that your employer did not pay in those taxes to the US Treasury on your behalf. You can report them for fraud. You must have the proof, which would be your check stubs. You should have also received a W-2 form at the end of 2006, or 2005, whatever year we are talking about here. That would be more proof.
You can go to www.irs.gov and search for form
3939-A and fill it out on=line. or write to the irs at INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE FRESNO CA. 93888
For me to give you more info.... I need to know how exactly YOU are being billed for these taxes. Are you getting letters from the IRS? DId you file a tax return based on the info on your W-2, and now the IRS is saying that your taxreturn was wrong, and they are looking for you to pay them the tax you owe? I need more info. If you want you can respond in my in-box, or email me at
cobweb2@comcast.net. use "advice on tax problem" as subject.

Lawsuit
I'm assuming if you're employer did not pay the money to the IRS that he deducted from your paycheck, then he kept the money for himself, which I'm pretty sure is illegal. Talk to your ex employer about the situation, find out what happened to the money that he deducted from your paycheck. If he is holding onto the money that was supposed to go in your paycheck, then you can probably sue him.
