So I joined a company and even before taking the job, I had a bad feeling about it but at the time I couldn’t find a job close by or one that would allow me to work from home and this one was both so I took it.
Well I started noticing illegal things that no one seemed to care about like not withholding taxes on bonus checks, and not remitting employee’s 401k withholdings, and etc. It ate at me and everyone told me to just walk out but I didn’t. I felt bad walking out even knowing it was a sinking ship.
Plus I also found out that my boss is on a federal government watchlist and went to jail in the past for being a shady accountant.
Now they are being audited by the IRS due to back taxes never paid and this is a huge concern since the books have personal and business expenses commingled. I did my best to ask what was personal and not but I know that I didn’t always have the most information.
I finally resigned today and gave 2 weeks notice but the boss told me no. He ended my employment today. Now they have no accountants and no one willing to look over the stuff for the IRS audit because the boss won’t. He had pushed it on me before I resigned and never looked at it.
Now I wonder what will happen to them and if the IRS will shut them down.
