In certain instances, the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) requires persons to withhold certain taxes (e.g., excise or employment) on the government’s behalf and then remit those same taxes to the government. In this manner, the person acts similar to a fiduciary on behalf of the government until such amounts are paid in full. A person’s failure to pay the government can result in so-called “trust fund recovery penalties.”
