Other than fidelity money market fund and T bills are there any other funds where I can park my cash for 4-6 months. Funds with low expense ratio and where tax burden is lesser than fidelity mmf.

Nothing you can do about federal taxes but Tbills would be best for tax purposes if your state has an income tax. If you don’t want to deal with buying Tbills, a fund that holds primarily treasuries would be an option. A mmf like VUSXX if you have a brokerage at Vanguard or somewhere that carries it or an ETF like SGOV would work

At fidelity it’s FZFXX

You could do muni bonds but I don't think you are going to like the rate. Buying tbills directly is what I do for money I know I'll need later this year.

Vanguard has federal and state tax free funds. You can get funds that are tax free at either or both state and federal. However the return basically mirrors the rate of taxable funds after tax effect at the highest tax rate. In other words, even at the highest tax rate you just come out even compared to using a taxable funds. You might make get .2% more with T-Bills (3.7%) but you have some rate risk there as they will have some term. There’s also ultra short term investment grade bond funds like VUSB that are paying over 4.25% but have a 12-18 month average term and are fully taxable and aren’t guaranteed by the federal government. Right now rates are most likely not to change for the rest of the year, unless you are in a highest tax bracket in a high tax state, an ultra short term corporate bond might have the highest return for you.

Advice: my firm incentivized associates to get licensed in fed courts - 4 fed courts for a 5k raise. They also covered the admission fee.

I didn’t plan on moving to another firm; the new firm sought me out and made me an offer - the process happened so fast. I want to be professional about this.

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?
My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.
