Newsletter
The Monthly Exchange Brief
One short email a month: the IRS disaster-relief notices that move deadlines, the rule changes that are enacted rather than proposed, the quarter's numbers, and the questions readers sent in.
What is in it
- Every IRS deadline-relief notice in force, with the counties and the dates, so a seller in a declared disaster area knows the 120-day option exists.
- What actually changed: enacted law and published guidance only, with proposals labelled as proposals.
- The quarter's numbers for sellers: capital gain breakpoints, the surtax threshold, bonus depreciation status, opportunity zone dates.
- Reader questions, answered in the same form as the answers hub.
No offerings, no yields, no sponsor announcements. Those are regulated communications and they do not belong in a newsletter.
