- This was received and approved by the IRS. These amendments were recommended by Edward Stahlin, to be more inline with what language the IRS would expect to see from an organization seeking tax exemption and 501c3 status. Our printed copy received from the state of michigan is buried in AHA Locker #33
- Tax Filing Status
- We did not miss our third year filing, we completed that on time. Thus we are under no penalty for failure to file for previous years, and since we are filing 990-Ns, there is no requirement to file for previous years. This was confirmed earlier this week with the IRS. Alex and I confirmed with the IRS Agent on the phone that our next step would be to file our 501c3, and make sure to include Schedule E! In order for us to do that, we should probably:
- Review our 501c3 Application one more time!
- Review and 501c3 Application Attachments
- Make sure that our Schedule E explanation is appropriate as can be.
- Have a professional party do one more review
- Submit it, amazingly.

- We did not miss our third year filing, we completed that on time. Thus we are under no penalty for failure to file for previous years, and since we are filing 990-Ns, there is no requirement to file for previous years. This was confirmed earlier this week with the IRS. Alex and I confirmed with the IRS Agent on the phone that our next step would be to file our 501c3, and make sure to include Schedule E! In order for us to do that, we should probably:
