<br />
In progress:<br />
<br />
*Completed IRS Form 1023 and supporting documents sent to IRS on 9/2/2017 and received today. Will take 2-4 months for reinstatement if approved (likely)<br />
*Completed LOPSA 2016, 2015, 2014, 2014 income tax Form 990-EZ, and sent to IRS by CPA firm<br />
*Get up to date with filings for New Jersey Department of Revenue. Our registration is current but I don't think we have filed required forms for sales tax and income tax for many years. George: This might require a CPA that is familiar with NJ tax law, but let's wait until we get our non-profit status reinstated first.<br />
*Take over domain name registration from Lee Damon for casitconf.org, as requested. Forwarded Lee's email to Dan Rich<br />
*Problem continues with multiple PayPal accounts, one of which I do not have access to. More questionable chargebacks are showing up, and I cannot dispute them so they get paid out by default. - George: Brian should receive the replies back from PayPal people, as George set up "send as" in Gmail needed.<br />
