Trust fund liabilities are easily transferred to the business’s owners and key employees. Often these taxes are satisfied by the filing of liens, levies, judgements and the seizing of bank accounts, cars and boats belonging to the business’s principals as well as business assets. None of these actions require the IRS to go to court. The penalties are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
