== Standing Reports ==

=== Treasurer's report (Brian) ===

Balance Info:

*Total (PayPal and Bank of America): $34,264.70 +/- from last report (09/4/2017): -$1888.49
*Reflects IRS 501(c)(3) reinstatement fee of $850 and Durham hotel charge of ~$1400.

Anticipated Charges and Expenses:
*$1400 for accounting services to file 990 forms for 2013-2016
*Face to Face (estimated based on last year's cost): attendee reimbursements

In progress:

*Completed IRS Form 1023 and supporting documents sent to IRS on 9/2/2017 and receipt confirmed.  Will take 2-4 months for reinstatement if approved (likely)
*Completed LOPSA 2016, 2015, 2014, 2014 income tax Form 990-EZ, and sent to IRS by CPA, with receipt confirmed
*Total cost of 501(c)(3) reinstatement: about $3650. Need to take steps to prevent this from happening again
*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.
*Took over domain name registration from Lee Damon for casitconf.org, as requested.
*Lee Damon wants someone to take over sasag.org and sasag.net.  Would it be appropriate for LOPSA to take over these domains as well?
