I'm was recently diagnosed with high functioning autism spectrum disorder. Will this affect my military career moving forward? I have already served a year in the Navy and have no problems getting along with my peers.

Having a diagnosis of high functioning autism spectrum disorder shouldn't have any effect on your military career. In fact, I have several friends who have served in the military and have been diagnosed with autism. They have all had successful careers and have been able to make meaningful contributions to the military.

As long as your symptoms don't affect your performance, you should be just fine to continue to serve. I'm sure you'll understand yourself a lot better going forward too, so that can only be a good thing in your line of work!

New Jersey partnership question.

Partnerships need to use market sourcing for purposes of calculating NR withholding tax (though NJ doesn't even call this withholding anymore).

However, for purposes of calculating the NJ distributive share of income, you apply Gross Income Tax (personal income tax) rules, which is 3 factor and includes COP.

If I end up with 0% apportionment under GIT and 10% apportionment under CBT (withholding tax), the partnership pays tax upfront but NRs get 100% refund?
