Company A is responsible but it's not like you can sue them over a $250 tax prep fee.
How? Company A became the property of Company B. Its obligations became the obligations of Company B, and Company B is the one who screwed the pooch. Any accounting failures or errors in tax compliance were the responsibilities of Company B since they had all decision making over the operations of Company A, or whatever came of it.

Company B is the ones who provided the erroneous W-2's to employee, and they are the ones who gave the bad tax advice to their employees. If I were an employee I would consider filing a class action lawsuit on behalf of all employees who are incurring costs associated with Company B's negligence in complying with the tax laws and regulations.

Who knows what really happened here? It was probably an asset sale A to B, and a miscommunication to A's employees by A and B. Looks like in the end, A determined it needed to file a tax return for the short period and should have W-2'd it's employees.

So who would the IRS tag for late filing penalties here? I would say A.

I think he was commenting that it's not worth the effort over $250.
