- Your businessWho owns it, who is liable and how it is taxed
- A tax professionalA CPA, enrolled agent or attorney can weigh your facts

Information is fine. Advice is not.
Members ask which business structure to choose or how much tax they will owe. The association can explain what the publications say, but it can’t give individual tax or legal advice.
How Chairlift handles it
- Answers come only from your publications, cited to the page.
- A rule refuses questions that ask for advice on a member’s own situation.
- The refusal points people to a tax professional, and to what the publication does cover.
The rules are yours.
Your team writes them in plain words. Each one shows how often it fired.
