Local Taxpayers Concerned that Penalties Levied Against Beaver County by IRS Could Be Passed Along to Them

There is concern that 387-thousand-dollars in tax penalties levied against Beaver County by the I-R-S could essentially be passed along to local taxpayers. During a county commissioners meeting last week, the county’s solicitor confirmed a tax lien has been lifted against the county, but the penalties are still in place for issues with payroll taxes in 2016 and 2018. The county’s former payroll supervisor, Barbara Rossi, was fired two days after issues with payroll surfaced. Beaver County could hear back by mid-July if the fines are repealed.
