Should I Help My Aging, Ailing Dad Access His Toxic Web Feed? - The New York Times

So I'm seeing him more than I have in decades, taking time off work and helping every day with speech therapy, email, banking, shopping, medical correspondence and video visits.

Nor do you have an obligation to help your father do so.

In 2020, my friend's employer set up a GoFundMe account for the employees affected by the company's shutdown during the pandemic. At year's end, the GoFundMe payment was reported as consulting income on Form 1099-NEC, while wages were properly reported on Form W-2. Putting through the GoFundMe payments as consulting income resulted in tax liabilities for the employees: taxable income, self-employment tax, underpayment penalty and estimated tax payments. What puzzles me is that your friend is evidently worried about raising the issue. Otherwise, you will have betrayed a confidence and betrayed a friend.
