If you’re working remote and your tourist visa is valid, does your employer really need to know for tax purposes that you weren’t in the US? For example if you fill out your local taxes saying you were home 12 months, but you really spent 6 months in Europe.

It depends if you’re a government contractor or not. No way if so. If you’re not, the world’s your oyster! You just have to be tricky and VPN through a state side IP. Employers are catching onto that. Do your research.
I’m of the firm belief that employers don’t own us. If we get the work done, what do they care?

I've wondered about this as well. I believe the rules are there because US tax laws are intense and most companies aren't set up to deal with the ins and outs remote work so they just put general rules to manage the unknown.

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home. My partner’s income was excluded in the DI ratio, but if it were included we’d be well under the % threshold and can be approved to close on time regardless of the sale of my house. However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?

Last week I worked remote from a Royal Caribbean cruise so here are my learnings:
The internet had a max of 3.7 Mbps which meant I had my video off the whole time. I had one call completely drop in 5 days, so all in all not bad. None of my coworkers seemed to notice or care very much. In a couple weeks, I try Holland America so hopefully it’s the same or better! I would love to hear other cruise experience or tips
