This Day in Legal History: Sedition Act PassedOn this day in legal history, July 14, 1798, the United States Congress passed the Sedition Act, one of the most controversial laws in the nation's early political history. Part of the broader Alien and Sedition Acts, this law made it a crime to publish “any false, scandalous and malicious writing” against the federal government, Congress, or the President with the intent to defame or bring them into disrepute. Ostensibly aimed at quelling foreign influence and internal subversion during the quasi-war with France, the Act was also a clear weapon against domestic political opposition—particularly the Democratic-Republicans led by Thomas Jefferson.Federalist lawmakers, who dominated Congress and the presidency under John Adams, justified the law as necessary for national security. However, it was widely criticized as an assault on First Amendment rights and a means of silencing dissent. The law resulted in the prosecution of several Republican editors and even members of Congress, including Representative Matthew Lyon of Vermont, who was sentenced to four months in jail.The Sedition Act provoked a fierce backlash and spurred Jefferson and James Madison to draft the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, which introduced the doctrine of nullification—the idea that states could declare federal laws unconstitutional. Public outrage over the Act played a significant role in the Federalists' defeat in the election of 1800 and the subsequent repeal or expiration of most provisions of the Alien and Sedition Acts.The Sedition Act expired on March 3, 1801, the day before Jefferson assumed the presidency. Its legacy remains a cautionary tale about the tension between national security and civil liberties, and it is frequently cited in debates over the limits of free speech in times of political crisis.California tax authorities have flagged over 1,500 high-end vehicles sold by 500 dealerships as likely being registered through Montana LLCs in an attempt to avoid California sales tax and vehicle registration fees. These vehicles—worth more than $300 million collectively—are tied to a long-running strategy used by buyers of luxury assets like exotic cars, yachts, and RVs to exploit Montana's zero percent sales tax and minimal registration costs. Dealers and buyers now face possible penalties, audits, and investigations as California intensifies enforcement.The scheme works like this: a buyer sets up a Montana LLC, purchases and registers the vehicle under that entity, and keeps the car out-of-state on paper—even if it's garaged and driven daily in a state like California. That regulatory fiction is precisely what states are cracking down on. Bloomberg Tax recently highlighted the scale of the problem, noting that more than 600,000 vehicles are likely registered in Montana but used elsewhere, costing states billions annually in uncollected taxes.Montana LLCs have become a go-to workaround for the wealthy looking to sidestep their home-state tax obligations. While technically legal under Montana law, when the vehicle is used in another state without proper registration or tax payment, it becomes a form of tax evasion. States like Illinois and Utah are following California's lead, passing laws to “look through” LLCs and hold in-state beneficial owners accountable.This isn't just a niche tax dodge—it's a broader challenge to state tax enforcement. As wealthier individuals increasingly exploit differences between state tax codes, it's prompting legal reforms and inter-agency cooperation to close loopholes once thought too obscure or dispersed to address. California's latest enforcement push suggests these Montana LLC schemes are no longer flying under the radar—and that other states may soon follow with penalties and structural reforms of their own.California Finds 1,500 Vehicles Linked to Montana Tax SheltersNearly two-thirds of the U.S. Department of Justice's Federal Programs Branch—the unit charged with defending Trump administration policies in court—has resigned or announced plans to leave since Donald Trump's reelection. Out of roughly 110 attorneys, 69 have exited, according to a list reviewed by Reuters. The exodus includes nearly half the section's supervisors and is far greater than typical turnover seen in prior administrations. While the Trump administration maintains its legal actions are within constitutional bounds, current and former DOJ lawyers cite an overwhelming workload and ethical concerns as key drivers of the departures.Many career lawyers reportedly struggled to defend policies they saw as legally dubious or procedurally flawed, including efforts to revoke birthright citizenship and claw back federal funding from universities. Several feared they'd be pressured to make misleading or unethical arguments in court. In some cases, lawyers were expected to defend executive orders with minimal input from the agencies involved. A recent whistleblower complaint even alleged retaliation against a supervisor who refused to make unsupportable claims in immigration cases.Despite the mass departures, the Trump administration continues to rely heavily on the unit as it seeks to expand executive power following favorable Supreme Court rulings. The DOJ has reassigned attorneys from other divisions, brought in over a dozen political appointees, and exempted the unit from the federal hiring freeze to keep up with litigation demands. Critics argue the changes undermine DOJ independence, while supporters claim the administration is merely ensuring its policies get a fair defense in court.Two-thirds of the DOJ unit defending Trump policies in court have quit | ReutersAn $8 billion trial kicks off this week in Delaware where Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and several current and former Facebook leaders are accused by shareholders of knowingly violating a 2012 FTC consent decree aimed at protecting user privacy. The lawsuit stems from the 2018 revelation that Cambridge Analytica accessed data from millions of Facebook users without their consent, ultimately leading to billions in fines and costs for Meta—including a $5 billion penalty from the FTC in 2019. Shareholders, including union pension funds like California's State Teachers' Retirement System, want Zuckerberg and others to reimburse the company, alleging they operated Facebook as a law-breaking enterprise.Defendants in the case include Sheryl Sandberg, Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, and Reed Hastings. While Meta itself is not a defendant, the case focuses on the board's alleged failure to oversee privacy practices and enforce the 2012 agreement. The plaintiffs must prove what legal experts call the most difficult claim in corporate law: a total failure of oversight by directors. Delaware law gives leeway for poor business decisions—but not illegal ones, even if they're profitable.Zuckerberg is expected to testify, and plaintiffs argue he personally directed deceptive privacy practices and tried to offload stock ahead of the Cambridge Analytica scandal to avoid losses, allegedly netting $1 billion. Defendants deny wrongdoing, claiming the company took privacy seriously by investing in compliance and being deceived by Cambridge Analytica.Meta investors, Zuckerberg to square off at $8 billion trial over alleged privacy violations | Reuters This is a public episode.

Key Takeaways: Tax Structure Variations: C Corporations are taxed at the corporate level, unlike S Corps and LLCs, which pass profits and losses directly to their owners. Double Taxation Risk: C Corps face double taxation—once on corporate profits and again when those profits are distributed as dividends to shareholders. Compensation Strategy: Shareholders who are also employees can reduce double taxation by receiving salaries, which are deductible to the corporation. Separate Tax Filings: C Corps file Form 1120, and their profits/losses don't pass through to owners unless distributed. Loss Limitations: Corporate losses stay with the C Corp and cannot offset shareholders' personal income, unlike in pass-through entities.

Youtubehttps://www.lbdcorptherightchoice.comInstagramBioTo her careers as an entrepreneur, author, MC host, and inspirational speaker, CatreseAlston, under the artist name Queen Diamond, has added singer/songwriter to her list ofaccomplishments.She has just released four songs, hip-hop and R and B, but “Money Wave” is THE song.“‘Money Wave' is talking about me, in a sense, and also as it relates to money,” shesaid. “It's talking about how you get that money and live that life.”It is kind of like her inspirational speeches rendered in hip-hop, with a beat and a chiming melodyand an upbeat rhythm that perfectly punctuate the lyrics, which are possibly the only hip-hop inexistence that includes the word “portfolio” and the term “LLC.”Imma show you how it's 'bout to go downPortfolio fat like them 808 drumsLLCs, that's how freedom comesEvery single deal—ka-ching—outcomes“It's basically telling you how you can make it,” she said. “I'm telling them you got tohave those LLCs in place, and you got to be able to turn those deals into moneyoutcomes. Sometimes you don't have to move where everybody can see everything.You need to move in silence. And when you move in silence, but you move effectively,those checks gonna scream loud.”Turn a risk into a ring the way I marry sumsPower moves quiet, then the check screams loudJumpin' off the jet in designer, head-crowdEagle-eye vision—spot a bag in the cloudIt is almost certainly the most fun financial advice you will ever hear.It is also a personal statement of intent.“I have held back. I've had a lot of challenges in life, and I have kind of been on theback burner because I'm always putting everybody else ahead and helping everyoneelse. But now I'm gonna show you how it's about to go down for me.”Music is something she has always wanted to do, but life, the need to make a living andsome extreme hardships intervened.“I got pregnant at a young age. My mom was murdered when I was five. Mygrandparents raised me and my brother, but they both died by the time I turned 18. So,I've always been independent and finding my way, and music was what always mademe feel better.”She passed her love of music on to her children, who are now singers and rappers intheir own right, and she has her own production company, BossCat Entertainment.“I pushed them and supported them, and now they're pushing and supporting me.”The tipping point that decided her on doing what she always wanted to do, began duringthe time of COVID, when she discovered she had stomach cancer. She beat it, andearly this year she celebrated her fifth year of remission.One particular moment was when she was playing around with her music with a friend,who said, “Oh my God! You should be doing something.”“And I said oh, no, that was a dream I had before, and she said, ‘Okay, you're not tooold to live your dream.' And I said, ‘You know what? That's one of the things I want meto do.' And so now, after overcoming cancer and even going blind in 2023 and gettingmy vision back, everything that I always wanted to do, I'm going to do it.”Of the four songs she has just released, “It's My Birthday” is pure hip-hop celebration,with what sounds like a bass sax joining the drum in the beat, and “Pleasure and Pain”is an R&B and hip-hop fusion on relationships — the pleasure and the pain.The other two, “Money Wave” especially but also “Stone Cold Lover,” are Catresestaking out her ground as Queen Diamond.“‘Money Wave' is letting you know I'm coming forth. I'm wearing the crown, and it is theQueen Diamond era.”In “Stone Cold,” the singer is talking to a lover, but warning him, too.“I'm trying to reach my goals, and although I may want someone to be beside me, and Imay care about you, you can't let your emotions get involved, because I'm on amission.”I'ma show you how it's 'bout to go down—Risin' to the top, we don't play 'round—Money wave comin', watch me surf that “Money Wave” is all about the mission, and money is a big part of that, but it's noteverything.“I'm about building a legacy,” she said. “When you leave this earth, what do you leavebehind? I'm not talking about things that can disappear. Materialistic things, they can bedissolved. How have you impacted somebody else's life, through inspiration, throughwords, through motivation, through music?”And, the music is also about fun, which comes out when you ask her what she wants todo with it, where she wants to go with it.“I want to have fun with it. I want to be able to reach a vast amount of people, share mystories through my songs, because it's very relatable to a lot of things that people dealwith in their life, and I want to be encouraging.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "Regarding section 168 bonus depreciation, it says to qualify for 100% the property must have been purchased after January 20th, 2025. Does that mean property purchased in 24 but not put into use till 2025 would not qualify?" –This is proposed legislation, not current law yet. "What are the tax implications of shifting properties from short-term rental to long-term rental after leveraging cost segregation reports to accelerate depreciation to offset some W2 income?" – Cannot do both in same year; changes passive loss treatment. "Can you use short-term stock loss carryover to offset real estate depreciation recapture and capital gains?" – Yes, but only after specific tax code ordering rules. "In the state of Florida, could parent fostering be conducted as a nonprofit business entity?" – Cannot earmark nonprofit funds for specific individuals or children. "My husband's selling his orthodontic practice using a 1031 option. Can he pay off the existing loan before reinvesting the profit?" – Yes, QI will pay off debt; need equal/greater replacement debt. "My S corporation business doesn't have cash flow to reimburse me for all benefits.

"My wife and I have a holding company LLC and multiple subsidiary LLCs currently taxed as partnerships. Should they be changed to S-corp?" – Real estate stays partnership; operating businesses - consider S-corp election. "In a Ponzi scheme, does the discovery year have to be the year charges are filed?" – Discovery year when you become aware through government notification. "Would establishing an LLC help me reduce tax on income from stock trading?" – Consider corporate trading partner structure for meaningful capital gains. "Our C corp employs our son part-time. What are the tax implications of buying him a car for personal use only?" – Buy in his name, increase salary; avoid corporate ownership.

Sherry Peel Jackson is a retired IRS agent, CPA, and Certified Fraud Examiner who now dedicates her work to helping everyday people understand how to reduce their taxes, protect their income, and build wealth. With over 35 years of experience and a mission to educate the middle class, Sherry teaches strategies used by the wealthy to keep more of what they earn—including how to legally avoid taxes, structure businesses wisely, and protect assets. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Sherry exposes the disparity in how the IRS treats mom-and-pop businesses versus large corporations. Starting a home-based business opens up powerful tax deductions not available to W-2 employees. Keeping thorough records, especially receipts, is essential for audit protection—credit card statements alone won't cut it. The KPG system (Keep, Protect, Grow) is Sherry's core framework for achieving financial independence. Protecting assets through proper legal structuring, including out-of-state LLCs and foundations, shields wealth from lawsuits and unnecessary taxes. Topics From IRS Agent to Advocate Worked for the IRS from 1988–1995 before launching her own CPA firm. Witnessed firsthand how small businesses were targeted while corporations often negotiated huge tax reductions. Left the IRS to empower middle-class earners with insider knowledge the wealthy use every day. Home-Based Businesses and Tax Deductions Employees are severely limited in tax deductions—no mileage, phone, or home internet write-offs. By launching a simple home-based business, individuals gain access to numerous write-offs. Sherry encourages clients to start a business they enjoy to unlock these tax benefits without burnout. Recordkeeping and Audit Preparedness Debit and credit card statements are NOT valid proof during audits—receipts are required. Recommends either scanning receipts into apps or making photocopies to preserve them. Supports clients during IRS audits and often helps them overturn excessive assessments. The KPG System: Keep, Protect, Grow Keep: Slash unnecessary expenses, eliminate debt, and live frugally while building income. Protect: Use legal structures (e.g., LLCs in Wyoming, NM) to shield assets and ensure anonymity. Grow: Reinvest profits into physical gold/silver and real estate—not depreciating assets like TVs or cars. Advanced Wealth Strategies Uses infinite banking policies to store wealth and acquire real estate tax-efficiently. Leverages the Augusta Rule—renting her home to her business for up to 14 days tax-free. Teaches the use of trusts and foundations to legally reduce taxes and protect generational wealth.
