How these guides are made

Calm, ordered and checked.

Sequence first

Organized by when, not by topic.

Sourced, not guessed

Every federal claim is checked against primary sources, and anything that varies by state points you to your state's own published answer.

Honest about limits

Not legal advice, and clear about when an hour of a lawyer's or accountant's time is worth it.
