Does this seem weird?

Question

It seems like my boyfriend’s parents aren’t really connected to reality. I’m a 21 year old college student and my boyfriend’s mom asked me if I could file her 2019 taxes for her and that she would pay me $30 to do it. Apparently the tax preparer they usually goes to wants $150 and they don’t want to pay that. I literally know nothing about taxes, I don’t have a special program like TurboTax, and I paid for a preparer to do MY taxes. His dad wants me to come over to talk about it with him. They should know that I have no knowledge about this whatsoever as they know I went to a tax preparer for my own taxes. I googled it doing your own taxes are hard and I read that the IRS said it takes 11 hours. It just seems so odd that they would ask me to do this. It’s like they don’t know how hard taxes can be. Does this seem odd to you?

Answer

if you use turbo tax, it doesn’t take 11 hours. MAX 2 hours. But yeah, did you tell them that you didn’t know how to do them?

Answer

Someone is charging $150 and they wanna give you $30 for the same exact job?

Answer

It is odd that they would ask you to do it but you don’t need a special program. Turbo tax is just online and doing taxes on there is fairly easy. I’ve been doing my own taxes since I was 16. Just politely decline if you don’t feel comfortable doing it.

Answer

I wouldn't do it. If you make a mistake on them then you would be at fault. Tell them to grow up and use turbo tax or pay someone else to do them.

Answer

Doing taxes isn’t hard and it’s super quick as long as they have all of their paperwork. You might spend 2hrs on it. You could totally do turbo tax for free or little to nothing. OR They could do it themselves as the website literally walks you through it.

Answer

I’ve been doing mine through TurboTax for 5 years. Super easy and takes no time at all. But if you’re not comfortable then just be nice about it and decline.

Answer

Don’t do it. If you make a mistake, they are the ones who have to pay for it (literally) and it’s going to cost them a lot more than $150 to fix it.

Answer

Some people just don’t know. Tell them you don’t know. It’s a good thing they assume you are so smart and able to help them with taxes. I dont know much about doing  taxes 😭 I pay 350 to have my business taxes done

Answer

Tell them no, you are not qualified, and leave it at that.

Answer

Why you??? That is so random. Lol Why don’t they just do it themselves if they don’t want to pay for it?
