With that out of the way, what does one even do in this situation? the feds love putting in the language that says you are ultimately responsible for your taxes, and you have to pay them even if someone who told you they were paying them ended up not doing so. can someone even find the employer liable in the situation?

I figured it was only your job when you're freelance or an owner yourself.

I could be wrong, but my understanding was "there is no excuse for not paying your taxes".
