I am almost ready to submit the application to the IRS asking it to recognize AGA's tax-exempt status. We want to ask the IRS to recognize tax-exempt status from the inception of the corporation forward. While the IRS is not required to do so in any event since we are applying past the deadline for doing so, it will *only* do so if we provide financial info for each of the years of incorporation. Otherwise, we will have to pay back taxes and penalties for any years for which we cannot provide the data and are not recognized as tax-exempt. In other words, it might only recognize tax-exempt status from the date of the application forward. But it might recognize tax-exempt status for prior years if we provide appropriate data for those years and plead our case well. I have enough info for 2003 but need info for 2002 and 2001, which was the year of incorporation. Does anyone have a copy of the end of year figures for 2001 and 2002, especially gross revenue and interest income and gross expenses? An item needed in particular, is the initial income, the amount of money the corporation started with, which constitutes income in the first year of its incorporation. If I'm not explaining this well, let me know and I'll try to answer what questions I can about the matter as best as I understand it. Who said the new tax code simplified things? :-\ Thanks, Scott H. ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, e-mail majordomo@thekrib.com with "unsubscribe aga-sc" in the body of the message.
