    In 2010, Colorado enacted a law that imposes use tax reporting obligations on many remote sellers with no nexus to the state.

    Death and divorce -  two “d” words that no one wants to talk about, but which cannot be ignored.

    Benjamin Franklin is famously quoted for saying, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Now, baby boomers can add a third certainty to that list: the extraordinary cost of long-term care.
