A practitioner's guide to the tax mechanics of divorce — how a QDRO splits a 401(k) penalty-free, why alimony in agreements executed after 2018 is no longer deductible, how Section 1041 carryover basis can turn a 50/50 settlement into an unequal one, and how the Section 121 home-sale exclusion survives when one spouse moves out.
Seventeen states plus D.C. now require salary ranges in job postings, with thresholds and penalties that vary enough for one nationwide ad to violate three statutes. A field guide to the 2026 patchwork, the remote-posting traps, and how multi-state employers turn compliance into routine operating discipline.
A 2026 guide to the Series LLC: how a single master entity can hold multiple internally-isolated series, which states recognize the structure (Florida joins via SB 316 on July 1, 2026), how the IRS taxes each series, the bookkeeping discipline required to keep the liability walls intact, and when separate traditional LLCs remain the safer choice.

A Section 754 election lets a partnership adjust the inside basis of its assets when an interest transfers or property is distributed, preventing incoming partners and heirs from being taxed on appreciation that economically belonged to the seller.
