I repeat - discuses it with an attorney. Filing a false tax return IS tax fraud. If YOU are not the employee and it is NOT YOUR income then it IS tax fraud to file a tax return saying that it is your income. It could also be money laundering depending on the circumstances.
We (in an internet forum) cannot know all the details. Go to a competent tax attorney where you can sit down one-on-one and give them all the details for legal advice.
This is a legal issue and not a tax question and we cannot give legal advice.
