Thanks EY3, I’ve been to PA firms outside of Big4 and will have to say that they are much worse. I’d like to avoid them at all cost. If I have to stay in PA, I’d rather be in Big4.

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?
