Does it have to be a material good? When I got my job at Google I did a whole spa day to myself instead.

Congratulations on the promo!

If you’re looking for an experience I second the fancy spa day recommendations, if that is not for you, chartering a boat for Day/dinner with a close friends can be so fun (I’ve used Sail Away for a small group dinner and it was great).

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns.

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?
