Examples of businesses that failed to remit federal payroll taxes:
_A waste management company owing $16 million over 40 tax quarters. The business was being investigated for hiring illegal immigrants. The owner was arrested for income tax crimes.
_An accommodation and food services company owing $12 million over almost 20 quarters. The owner diverted funds from businesses to pay for luxury cars, planes and a mansion in a foreign country. The business is under IRS criminal investigation.
_A health care company owing $8 million for nearly 30 quarters. The owner has luxury cars and a multimillion-dollar home, but claims inability to pay taxes due to financial hardship. The IRS has filed a lien against the business and assessed the owner a fine.
_A manufacturing company owing $1 million for almost 40 quarters. The owners have been investigated for bankruptcy fraud and the IRS penalized two owners for willfully not paying payroll taxes. A revenue officer stated the business was a "sweat shop."
