I am not a tax specialist, but I have 26+ years experience
with DOL.
You are an employee. Tell me, did you ever get paid? If so
did you receive a sum less than your hourly rate x hours
worked such that you could reasonably assume that SS and
income taxes were deducted? If so the presumption will
likely be that they were deducted from your pay and not
remitted to Uncle Sam. If not then you will owe income
taxes and your half of SS taxes.
Start making a list of the paychecks you did receive, try to
find any stubs that were attached. Reconstruct your
financials with this guy even if you were paid cash.
