Board member was liable for unpaid withholding taxes

A board member of a hospital corporation was a responsible person liable for the trust fund recovery penalties assessed against him to collect the hospital’s unpaid employment taxes. The board member owned stock in the corporation, had the authority to sign or co-sign checks and had significant control over the corporation’s affairs and finances. Moreover, the board member acted willfully because, despite knowing that the hospital’s taxes had not been paid, he continued to pay other creditors, including himself, before paying the government. (Collins v. United States of America, U.S. District Court, N.D. Illinois, East. Div.; 10 C 6705, September 12, 2012.)
