At my wife's job, they have been making one of the employees that's been there for years file their taxes for them. He is not an accountant, nor is my wife. It's her first year there and this will be her first tax filing season with them. She feels that once this co-worker of hers is gone, which may or may not be soon, they will start telling her to take on that responsibility. I don't want to give too many details in case this is somehow seen, but this isn't anything close to her role for the company and was obviously not in her job description. She has told me when they eventually do ask, she will not do it because she doesn't feel comfortable. I'm wondering how she can go about this. It seems to me that either (1) she would need a significant raise if they expected that from her, or (2) she will need a way to tell them no by listing her job responsibilities in writing. I'm trying to plan ahead on how to advise her. I am almost 100% sure she will do #2, because again, that's a lot of pressure and she hates math. Any advice? I'm afraid that they will hold it against her somehow if she doesn't do it and how would she even be able to prove it if they do try to fire her or penalize her in some way?
