Can my offspring pay the mortgage on a property in my name without it being considered income to me, and is it legal for them to send the payment to my bank account and then have the mortgage company withdraw it from my account? Additionally, will this arrangement raise any red flags with the IRS, and who pays the gift tax if any?

I work in a barber shop in Pennsylvania. I have been asking my boss for my year-to-date income totals for the first quarter so that I can pay my local taxes. When he showed me what he turned in to his accountant, it was about $1300 lower than what was recorded in our database. He has since locked the database with a password that I can't access, preventing me from seeing any totals, including mine or anyone else's. I still have not been able to pay my local taxes for the first quarter. What should I do?
