What brands do big 4 ladies wear to work? I am a manager, usually shop at Ann Taylor, J.Crew, Banana. Some of our staff wear designer clothes. Am I underdressed?

All PwC offices went "dress for your day." Underdressed is now sweatpants.

I'm a manager and wear the same as you. The associates wear designer because they are young and dumb about money and feel the need to impress with looks as opposed to brains (generalizing, obviously not everyone is like that)

I am a first year associate and wear banana. I want to wear Brooks brothers when I make a lot of money, when I am a director or partner (don't know how much a director makes).

No, you aren't underdressed. Those are all great.

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?
