And now towns, localities, cities, counties, and states are considering raising taxes to overcome the economic losses of Covid due to their closing businesses. In one case a state has suggested a 34% tax increase. No thanks.

I would be concerned they would just factor this into their ongoing operating budget and it would go to new spending. This big an increase is likely being done to hide existing inefficiencies rather than only COVID impacts.

I don’t own property in Nashville, TN so this ain’t impacting me. I saw on Fox they are the only ones doing this.

They should tax the billionaires who have profited from this pandemic

Is it 10% going to 13.4% or 10% going to 44%. If it’s the first, get over it.

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?
