The employer is required to give the money deducted from your paychecks to the IRS and/or state department of revenue. If they do not AND you do not receive the money, you are not responsible for the amount they deducted.

Call the IRS and report them. They are in deep trouble for doing that.
Dig out any pay stubs you have showing the deductions, so you can prove it actually was deducted. If you have some proof that they actually did deduct and not pay it in, you won't be responsible.

How do you KNOW that he didn't pay the taxes? That's an unusual accusation unless you know something about the emplyer's bookkeeping.
However, if he DIDN'T, the IRS can eventually collect from the owner directly...by force or otherwise.
