Would it be wrong if I was to expense CPA exam if I’m leaving the firm this Friday? I worked for 2 years and I’m leaving for personal obligation but still will be pursuing CPA

I’d read the actual policy though - if it doesn’t say anything about expensing them and then leaving the firm I’d probably go for it

If Pwc policy is that you can expense then technically you could. Any expenses not approved is ultimately your responsibility

Expense everything per firm policy. Look around on kcurve or whatever the other one is (I forget bc I’ve been de-programming myself from PwC).

I don’t think that the policy is intended to reimburse people for exams that they are taking when they don’t work for PwC.

Hah! Expense denied. Not a chance lol, but nice try

Could go either way

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?
