I don’t understand the additional income showed by the employer and how can is dispute. ( The employer never gave me any document regrading the addition income shown on the IRS). I NEVER RECEIVED THE ADDITIONAL INCOME SHOWN IN THE IRS DOCUMENTS BY THE EMPLOYER

Answer: Go to the Human Resources Department of the company where you work. They can help explain what is going on. Also, call the person who does your taxes. You don’t by chance work on a boat? Are you sure somebody else isn’t using your Social Security Number? Identity theft can cause strange things to happen with your taxes. Call the IRS to see if anybody worked for a different company using your SSN.

Question: In California what would it cost to prepare an ‘08 Form 990-EZ?

Just taking the numbers off the trial balance and putting them onto the right lines and making everything balance? This is for fiscal 08/09 so the deadline is 11/15/09. We are looking for an EA or CPA. Probably should mention the cost for the state return too.
Could someone give me a guesstimate please? Ballpark is fine.
Is the IRS estimate of 15 hours to prepare and assemble a reasonable time frame? (Seems pretty long to me.)
Thanks Judy, but I was looking for a hard number or at least a range that it might cost. Does anyone do and charge for preparation of the 990-EZ Not for Profit Corporation return?

Answer: I think the other responder who says 20 minutes is thinking of a 1040-EZ and has probably never been involved with a 990, EZ or otherwise.

I’ve done all versions of 1040, 990, and 990-EZ this year since who can file one rather than the full 990 has changed for a couple years. A fairly straightforward 990-EZ, when I’d done the 990’s for that organization for several years, probably took somewhere in that 15 hour vicinity, maybe a little less.

So getting it done won’t be cheap, unless you can find an EA or CPA who is interested in your non-profit and cuts you a break on cost.

Is the Internet full? AT&T’s dire warnings sound a too-familiar theme

In public policy, there’s a concept known as the “Statue of Liberty ploy” (not to be confused with the Statue of Liberty play ): Faced with any sort of budget cuts in a given area, officials say sorrowfully that they will be forced to shut down the Statue of Liberty, counting on the huge public outcry that ensues to restore funding.

501(c)(3) Compliance & Form 990 Preparation

Question: can a non-for profit in mexico which files form 990 with the IRS issue US tax exempt receipts?

if we get a donation from the US, could we issue the donor a tax exempt receipt for his/her contribution?

Answer: Why is a Mexican non profit filing a 990? You can only deduct contributions to American charities. What is normally done is that an American non profit is formed to accept contributions and uses them to sponsor some charitable enterprise in Mexico (or Africa or Asia, wherever.) For example, I support an orphanage in Mexico by sending money to the American charity the sponsors it.
