We've found the following websites to be quite useful to our ongoing advisory services.

IRS Forms
This is the official IRS website where one can download the latest US tax forms and publications.

US Code of Federal Regulations
This is the main search page for accessing the Code of Federal Regulations.  It is always good practice to check here for the lastest version; they do change on a regular basis.   If you know the specific title number, you can jump straight to it at GPO Access.

US Patent & Trademark Office

This is touted as the "go-to place for management", and lives up to its promise.  It requires a subscription, but the good news is that it's free.  It can, at times be overwhelming.  The sheer number of articles and updates, depending upon your alert settings will never leave you without something to read.  Especially nice is their Business Library with articles, white papers and webcasts organized by industry and topic.

The title pretty well sums it up.  The blog posts are a good read.  The downside is that most of the good stuff requires a premium subscription.
