- finding that a taxpayer acted willfully despite the taxpayer’s good faith belief that it would be able to obtain a loan to pay over the tax liabilities
- although the Fifth Circuit has recognized conceptually that a reasonable cause may negate a finding of willfulness, \no taxpayer has yet carried that pail up the hill.\
- president and vice-president with signing authority over bank accounts held responsible persons
- “We have not accepted the mere reasonable expectation of sufficient funds at a later date as a defense to a charge of willful failure to comply with the commands of § 6672.”
