Can I turn my computer into a different office in my region than my home office? My last day will be a couple days after Christmas and I don’t want to have to go back just to bring my computer back

At the worst you could ship it back. They can deal with it like that.

Yes you can. IT Service is National and they don’t care at which office one is based vs. return the pc BUT make sure to tell Talent/HR in advance .

Ask - it is very likely that you can. Especially in the same region

Ask if you can turn it in this week.

Would that mean my last day being paid would have to be this week?

Will the firm be open that day? We’re closed

Just mail it back. They shouldn’t care

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!

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?
