By Sarah J. Reusché • 23 May, 2024
The current Warranty Law in Illinois became effective on January 1, 2022, by Public Act 102-232, and is now codified as 815 ILCS 710/6.

When a Taxpayer Should File an Amended Federal Tax Return

Tim’s Tax News on the Tenth – May 2024

By Timothy M. Hughes • 10 May, 2024
When a taxpayer realizes that their federal tax return has a math error, missing income, or other mistake, they should file an amended tax return. If you need to amend your Form 1040, 1040-SR, 1040-NR, or 1040-SS/PR for the current or two prior tax periods, you can amend these forms electronically using available tax software products. Any amended Form 1040, 1040-SR, 1040-NR or 1040-SS/PR returns older than the current or prior two tax periods cannot be amended electronically. Amended returns for those earlier tax years must be filed by paper. Also, if the originally filed return was via paper during the current processing year, then the amended return must also be filed on paper.
Understanding the FTC’s Nationwide Ban on Noncompete Agreements

Banking and Business Monthly – May 2024

By Steven A. Migala • 03 May, 2024
On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), in a 3-2 vote, issued its final Non-Compete Clause Rule (“Rule”) which prohibits noncompete clauses in agreements between employees and their workers. This highly anticipated Rule follows a substantially similar proposed rule from the FTC released on January 19, 2023. The Rule will not become effective until 120 days after publication in the Federal Register, and covered employers will be required to comply with the Rule by that effective date, which could come as early as August of this year. By the FTC’s estimate, this ban could affect up to one in five American workers.
Divorces that involve small and medium businesses have unique concerns and considerations.

Business Ownership and Divorce

By Joseph A. Olszowka • 02 May, 2024
When determining how to distribute the marital assets between parties to a divorce, the division of an interest in a small or medium business owned by one or both of the parties is more complex and requires a careful examination of the value of the business or business interests. The Court must determine the value of the business interest in order to determine how to equitably divide all marital assets in which the parties have an interest. The Court will regularly rely on the valuation reports of the parties' experts regarding the value of the business. The business valuation expert will utilize a number of different methods in determining the value of a business. The professional appraiser will examine and assess the value of the business and provide expert testimony and reports to the parties and the Court.
