IRS was entitled to a priority unsecured claim for debtor's failure to remit withholding taxes.
Procedural posture

When debtor filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding, the IRS filed a proof of claim in which it asserted that, by reason of unpaid employee withholding taxes, it was a priority unsecured creditor under 11 U.S.C. § 507(a)(8) and was entitled to a stated sum in that capacity.
