For my occupation, I worked 7 and a half months but retired for the rest of the year. How do I answer the occupation question?

posted

Enter your "occupation" as of 12/31/16, Retired or if you have more than one occupation, enter your main occupation. (The one you spend most of your time doing.)

The IRS requires we ask about your occupation.

An occupation is what you do for work, but if you’re retired, a student or a stay-at-home parent, that can be your occupation as well.

Some examples that can help you answer this question are listed below:

Retired
Student
Teacher
Cashier
Truck driver
Hair stylist
Unemployed

If I only worked 3-4 months out of 2023 should I still put my occupation job as office assistant? Do I say still working at (whatever business)
