Wish our insurance covered counseling. I think it would be cool to also do 'wellness' days every now and then whether it be guided meditation or some kind of mini workshop to help us prioritize our well beings in healthy ways

We used to have a principal’s secretary who had connections with several masseuse locations. She would have some come over to campus maybe twice a year and give free 15 minute back and/or neck massages. It was fantastic if you could get one! They weren’t there the whole day, but the second visit would be the other half of the day.

Massages, yoga, meditation/ prayer room. Anything that promotes wellness and self care. Or if they just acted like we needed to take care of ourselves, that it was vital that we were well taken care of.
Also, good old fashion morale building activities.

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?
