If you teach for one term or one semester and take the rest of the year off, can you get some kind of break? As a sports writer covering one sport, say college football, can you claim seasonality or something and file differently?
Rob has me confused on this. What is the significance of 1/3 year as opposed to 2/3 or a full year?
