Will a bookkeeper get in trouble if the business is deliberatly not paying their taxes and the bookkeeper knows about it?

Possibly. The IRS has been known to take the position in delinquent tax collection matters that a bookkeeper in this scenario can be held a "responsible person" for payment of employment taxes. If the employment taxes are not paid over to the IRS then the IRS looks to collect the so-called Trust Fund portion of the employment taxes (plus interest and penalties) from anyone they deem a "responsible person". The company bookkeeper is high on the IRS target list of people they try to pin the blame on.
