If the IRS catches wind of a 15 year old who is working at a business, without taxes being taken off, and it isnt a private buisness such as a farm, and he is not family of the owners, is it HIM that gets in trouble, or is it the business owners?

Everybody is going down. The IRS does not play and you don't want to mess with them.

I don't think he's old enough to be paying taxes. Most 15 year olds can't work at any businesses and their main employment sources are babysitting(no taxes here), delivering newspapers (no taxes here) and farming. He shouldn't have to pay taxes until he's 16

of course if you owe ( or if your parents need to report your income) will depend on how much income.
if you don't earn over a certain amount you don't have to file taxes.
if you earn over that amount you are obligated to file income taxes..
The business that you are working for, can either have you hired as an employee ( if you are they are obligated to report earnings, to pay unemployment taxes and withhold social security taxes. If you are considered self employed, you are liable to do this.
So if it is found out, and nohting is reported, both employee and employer will be in trouble
