At PwC how long does it take for requested vacation time to be approved? And are you guarenteed to get that time off if you’re not assigned on any jobs/it’s in the middle of June?

In my group you just tell people when you’re taking off and mark it on the calendar. Nobody really cares as long as you’re not taking time off during like the 3ish months we’re super busy. Sounds like “requesting” time off is more about an individual group’s staffing policies rather than the firm as a whole, so I would ask around in your team.

If you have the time accrued, and you are not staffed on a job there shouldn’t be a reason to deny it. Put in in early though. I put in 5 weeks starting in August last month. I wasn’t staffed on a job and I’ll have the time they approved it the next day.

Depends...if you are staffed on a job and you are taking 1 or two days vacation and your team approved it you don’t need to make a request. But if you are not on a job for the time period I def would. If you don’t they could put you on a job and then you will need approv

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?
