Specifically, if you register 0 income (as RAs do) some year then can that year be counted for income averaging. The idea is that if not then the RAs should, perhaps, get their income taxed for a short duration (say summer) and make the year eligible for income averaging. And since the income will be small, the tax will be refunded. So, you do not loose anything, except that the state tax goes. I think this is something we RAs should think about now, so that we are prepared when we go to do jobs, and do not give away extra taxes than needed.
