Uh...Sub S Corps are income tax pass throughs and don't pay any. Generally, Taxes - like sales tax collections or payroll withholdings, etc are considered trust funds - funds of anothers that the company is responsible for. Actions to collect them may pierce the corporate veil and Officers of a corporation, even if not really involved with tax matters, are responsible for them personally. In practicality, only when there is fraud or intentional failure to pay is this pursued.

Is a partner in an sub s corp liable for signing a personal guarantee on a lease on behalf of the corp?

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that sub s corps do not have "partners", they have shareholders, which is an important distinction, because it means you are definitely not liable unless you signed the personal guaranty. As for the need to sign, that is part of the negotiation - they might insist on it. Also, when signing, there is a distinction between signing as an officer of the corporation vs. signing personally: always sign, "ABC Corp.", then below, "by: Joe Q. Smith, President" which means you are signing as an officer, as distinct from signing as an individual.

Yes. First, if it isn't an Incorporated business, they most likely are completely totally involved (as the business is normally simply them personally really). And of course, if it is a Corp, the officers may be personally liable for some things...sales and payroll taxes most notably.
