How will you know those flights in advance lol

Oooo platinum has immediate upgrades? 🤔

Buying them won't earn you the points (just some for putting them on your delta card), points only post after travel is completed...

Yeah but you can get comfort+ tix without paying extra

Have opportunity to work in my firm’s London satellite office for about a year and a half, and then come back to NY headquarters.

Hi team ,

I have started working from jul2019 and I have filed my tax return for 2020 and 2021 tax years.


However I note that there was withholding of some amount in 2017-2018 and 2019 tax years ( withholding from comission received from insurance commission from lic and United india)

I have not filed 2017, 2018, 2019 return as my total income was less than threshold

Is it possible to file return for 2017 , 2018, 2019( all r in refund) now without paying any penalty?

1) Referrals are a huge tool for getting your foot in the door. At Facebook it guarantees that atleast your resume is given more than a glance.
