Going to business school next year and will need to pay for most of it. Should I stop adding extra to retirement and just get the company match in 401k (not maxing out 401k or IRA, which I do now)? Or should I just contribute as much as I can to retirement and deal with the loan after graduating?

If the loan is at 5% or less then just go with that. You can make money in the market those two years tax free and you’ll for sure come out ahead in the long run

Yes

Keep maxing out, and get student loan. Rates are low.

I would do up to the company match and save $$. Student loans suck and I believe rates will go up after forbearance is over

How much $ are you talking about needing to take out.

Almost all of it. Let’s call it 200k

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?
