How we prepare our articles

Facts about fees, deadlines and tax rules are checked against primary sources: the IRS, state Secretaries of State and Divisions of Corporations. We update an article when a rule changes and show the date of the last update at the top. The articles describe risks and context; they are not a substitute for advice on your specific case.
