Please help! I’m struggling with my mental health and need to take some time off but still in busy season. Should I reach out to HR? My manager isn’t the most understanding. Idk what to do. Advice?

I would first bring it up with HR and your counsellor, is they are not your engagement manager. Your mental health and overall well being is most important and shouldn’t be jeopardized. Work is secondary. Once it’s communicated with them, the necessary arrangements and accommodations can be made. You don’t need to tell your colleagues what exactly is up if you don’t want to. If you choose not to disclose it and they do, they’ll be in a lot of trouble.

Please do what’s best for you and get whatever help you need! ♥️

Anyone other staff feel like the biggest contributor to stress during busy season isn’t the workload. It’s the lack of support or help while you’re just thrown into the deep end not knowing how to swim? In-charges, especially the newly promoted ones are either hit or miss or they’re way too busy with their own work. I almost feel like I’m ready to quit because no job is worth the mental health sacrifice.

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?
