A former employer of mine refuses to pay taxes and told me that he did not want me to fill out a W-2 to show state and federal levels what and how much to take out of my weekly $300 check. I continued to persist about it and he finally withdrew $55 from each check... even though he did not know any of my tax information or have me fill out anything saying as such. When I quit six months later, he confessed to me that he had not been paying any tax at all and offered to pay me $1000. I turned it down and then just this January I informed him that I was expecting a W-2 from him based on a prevoius question that I had earlier asked on this service. My question is, on line 1 & 16 (wages, tips, other compensation) he has $6000, on line 17, state income tasx (missouri) he has $100... I've been told that is $47 short and I have to pay for it.
Since he mishandled this situation, can I have him pay this amount? If he doesn't, can I take him to small claims court or is there an IRS form?

Also, are these correct?
Federal income tax withheld: $515
Social security tax withheld: $372
Medicare tax withheld: $87
I know it's only $47, but the guy is a seedy crook. I know of another illegal operation that he is into... but I can't really prove that he is or has done anything illegal just yet. He takes photos from the 1800's and early 1900's, remakes them in the old fashion method, and then tries to sell them on eBay as originals. I've seen his whole set up... but, it's not illegal until he's actually sold some of it as far as I know.
Anyway, can I take him to small claims court? Is there some IRS form I can fill out?
thanks!
