Ok, the bank closed his account because there was no money in it, not the DOR. It's great to be friendly with your landlord, I'm friendly with mine (although he lives in Florida, which makes it easy, lol). But paying his bills is not a good idea. Sure you keep documentation of paying his bills and everything, but you shouldn't have that hassle. If you were paying him by check, that would be your rent receipt. He has no bank account (although I bet he has one in someone else's name), so pay him in cash and let him write you a receipt. Using a formal receipt book is nice, but not necessary. You could even print up receipts, indicating both names, amount, and for what month's rent. Much easier than the spreadsheet thing. As for him asking you to use part of your rent to pay his child support, the DOR having attached his account, blah blah blah. Not to be mean or anything, but the guy was ordered to pay child support and didn't. I don't care how nice he may seem, he is considered a deadbeat dad and rightfully so. All of these things are his problems to sort out, not yours. Pay him cash and let him figure out how he wants to spend it.
