<prompt> Human: Apparently the companys owner hasnt been paying any taxes since 2016, and is handing over the company soon to my mom. She is currently trying to figure out the excessive amount of over due tax but doesnt have the account access. Owner is a lazy shit head and not sharing anything.Is there anything my mom and do legally?Edit: thanks guys for your input Ill let her know to hit up a lawyer or CPA. Really appreciate it. She went on a rant about it and it worries my shell get fucked over by this.  <response>: Dont buy the company. When buying a business one of the first things I want to look at is their last 3 or more years of tax returns along with profit and loss statements.The fact that this guy isnt handing them over is a huge red flag. Unless your mom already gave this guy money or she signed an agreement to buy the business as is, threaten to back out.
