Hi Judy,

Does this mean we are to become employees of the tax department? It used to
be the clerk's job was to make sure a PTR was filed and the tax dept.'s job
to make sure it was correct.  What liabilities are we as clerks assuming?  I
think there needs to be some discussion prior to our accepting this
responsibility.
