IRS to harrass non-profits

[henry0reilly]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica] Changes in Indiana gaming laws and rules were already putting a hurtlocker on the fraternal organizations and now the feds are taking a turn.

The Infernal Ripoff Slimeballs have hired 800 new agents (nationwide) to audit non-profit organizations books and practices.

We are now required, under threat of a three year audit which could result in huge penalties and fines, to insist our entertainers accept a form 1099 if we pay them $600 or more a year.

The immediate effect of this in my town is that one our clubs lost the karaoke DJ, who apparently doesn't pay taxes on the money he makes from Karaoke, as he has refused to sign the paperwork.

What we desperately need to do as a nation is demand the repeal of the 16th and 17th Amendments to the Constitution (direct election of Senators and Income Tax.[/FONT]

And go back to the Greenbacks

Those two amendments will NEVER be repealed. And all OTHER businesses have the same reporting requirements; it's not just non-profits. Sorry if this seems negative, but I just don't see it happening.

As they say, "....death and taxes."

Feel free to fantasize though.

I would support such an amendment to repeal both the 16th and 17th amendments. In fact, the 16th amendment was never properly ratified anyway, so it wouldn't need to be "repealed."

yep the 16th amendment is impotent. federal income tax is not enforcible by law, because no law exist. now having the money to fight it in court is a different matter.

i dont see how people think we would lose the second ammendment. if people put their actions where their mouths are then that will asure we dont lose it.

 

[WHAT HAPPENED]

yep the 16th amendment is impotent. federal income tax is not enforcible by law, because no law exist. now having the money to fight it in court is a different matter.

the IRS requirments will not cost a non profit group anything but someone's time..
Good record keeping will help a NP group in the end.. more groups will spot where someone has been skimming funds..
