Today is 10/4/23, and it’s National Golf Lover’s Day! As a person who loves the game of golf, it’s a great time of year to get outside and play.

Until I have an official sponsor, looks like I'm the sponsor!

It’s live!

Here is a link to a video my financial advisor sent me to learn more about this law and what to do:

Please keep in mind, I’m not an attorney or CPA and I’m not providing any legal advice here. This is just a starting point for your research into this new law and making sure you’re in compliance. Here’s another helpful link:

Based on my initial reading, there really isn’t anything to do right now, but it appears you will be able to electronically file the information required starting January 1, 2024. If you have a pre-existing business, you have a year to complete the form. If you start a new business after January 1, it looks like you have 30 days to provide the required information.
