Editorial Policy

• Primary sources: Every guide links to original sources (.gov, statutes, official forms).
• Accuracy and updates: We provide “Last updated” dates and record corrections at the bottom of the page.
• Clarity first: We avoid jargon, define terms, and provide checklists.
• Independence: Advertisers and affiliates do not influence editorial decisions.
• Accessibility: We design for readability, high contrast, keyboard navigation, and reduced motion.
