I don't see why not unless your firm audits your broker in which case not sure you can even have a brokerage account with them to begin with if you are a covered member

This is the correct answer.

Check your independence policy. It may be allowed if you're not a covered person or if your firm does not audit the broker.

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?

I just logged in for open enrollment and see that my benefit costs are increasing quite a bit. Family of 4 - medical/dental/vision will be about $345/pay period plus whatever I contribute to my HSA.

We are also on an income based rate plan and I recently crossed into the bottom of the most expensive tier so it’s an even bigger hit over the normal YoY increase.

If you have a manager who favors males over females, makes dirty jokes at the client site, and behaves inappropriately and you complain, what are the consequences at Big 4?
