Re: dissolving a corporation

You need to hire a tax attorney or at least an accountant experienced in tax matters. There are various scenarios in which IRS and the Oregon Dept of Revenue can attach assets that are owned by the individual owners of the delinquent corporation. I do not know the law in this area. You can use the oregon State Bar Association's free lawyer referral service here: http://www.osbar.org/public/ris/ris.html
