Nice theory. But anything to do with money will be my fault.

WRONG! Did you calculate how to fill out her W-4 for her so that it wouldn't have negative tax implications? No? Then that was HER responsibility to do so. Does she hand you her paystubs every pay period so you could see what taxes have gone out and use that to calculate any needed adjustments to her witholdings? No? Again, HER fault.

Do you see where I'm going with this? You are being fatalistic about it Jeff. Those are the points to make with her if she starts blaming. Tell her that and walk away. Don't let her argue. As you said, she's a great arguer and will win at all costs. Don't let her.

Taxes are BOTH of your responsibilities, not just yours.
