Re: [AGA-sc] RE: [AGA's and ACA's non-profit status]

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Friends, aquantances, or folks that will only charge a
nominal fee -- all of these are good ways to go before
resorting to a regular hire.

But even tax experts that don't regularly due non-prof tax
stuff, tend to beg off of the non-prof stuff -- it's a
specialty.

So anyone that knows the right kind of expert, or knows
someone that knows someone . . .
