Agenda

1. Taxes 2. Voting for Board Members 3. Members and Policy Document 4. Bylaws

Taxes
  • Harold has all Federal tax returns for 2015 - 2021.
  • Approximate Net operating per year:
  • 2015: -$60k
  • 2016: -$40k
  • 2017: -$10k
  • 2018: $2k
  • 2019: -$13k
  • 2020: $1k
  • 2021: $15k
  • We are currently making about $2k of profit per month, and on track to make more per month.
  • Side note: September 2022 has been the most canceling members ever. We are at 93 members.
  • Harold estimates it will take about 18 months to get $100k in the bank at current conditions.
  • While rent will be $6500 next year, we could currently afford $8k rent if we needed to.
  • CPA fees will be $3500 for these seven years (before a discount is applied)
  • For Federal we owe nothing.
  • For State taxes if we filed as a local Charity, we would be liable for no State Taxes.
  • If we filed as a for-profit we would be liable for $1,127 for State taxes. We will have to pay late fees as well.
  • We will file taxes as a Not-For-Profit for NYS.
  • We're blocked on State - we need a local tax attorney with not-for-profit experience.
