Right so if you think about how we used to measure factory productivity and how we could increase profits and margins, we’ve gotten better at assessing levels of productivity for service professions. What used to be lax seasons are no more as we’ve gotten better over time at assessing these things

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). 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?
