Question My husband's old company recently declared bankrupty. He has an IRS lien (payroll taxes) that cannot go in bankruptcy. He has started a new LLC (partnership) and I am setting up his books. The new company has been paying the old payroll tax lien. I am not sure how to account for this expenditure on his new books since his new company is not liable. Is it just a partner expense? Thanks for your help!
Answer If the old company or partner is paying it back than it would be set up as a loan to the other company.
If the old company or partner is not paying it back and it is becoming an expense of the new company than it should be set up as a tax debt payment.
