For non-profits:
How do we form a nonprofit? Can I work for the nonprofit? What is a Board of Directors and why do I need one? How do we report our income and expenses? Why do I have to register with the Attorney General’s Office? What are my reporting responsibilities? There are at least four entities that provide oversight to nonprofit organizations – Internal Revenue Service (who grants nonprofit status and receives an annual Form 990); the Franchise Tax Board (which also much grant nonprofit status and receives an annual Form 199); the Secretary of State (which manages all public information and reporting for nonprofit corporations); and the Attorney General’s Registry of Charitable Trusts (which require registration and annual reports); all serve an important role in compliance for your nonprofit activities. Be sure to become educated about managing your nonprofit so you do not lose the invaluable nonprofit status.
