===Applying for State Tax Exemption=== | |||
We received a notice from the State of California Franchise Tax Board, notifying us that (since we have yet to submit or complete our 501(c)3 application) we must fill out state form 3500 to convince California not to levy state taxes for last year, 2013. | |||
I've filled out this form to the best of my knowledge so far, but it is incomplete. It needs some more attention. See attached: | |||
[[File:state_tax_form_3500_sudo_room.pdf]] | |||
which should have saved my submitted values to many of the required fields. We need a few things: | |||
# Review what I've already added (make sure dates and such are correct!) | |||
# Complete the rest of the form to the best of our ability | |||
# See if any lawyerly advice can help us ensure this goes smoothly | |||
# Submit before Friday November 7 (30 days from October 9, 2014) | |||
"Send us either your tax exempt letter, Form 3500, Form 3500A, or Form 100 with a copy of this letter within the next 30 days or we may issue a tax assessment based on available information. A penalty of 25% of the additional tax may be assessed for failure to provide information upon written request." | |||

===Notes from submitting Taxes=== | |||
This is your treasurer ''notconfusing'' speaking. I'm a tax amateur, and you can too. On Apr 9th 2014, I went the Sustainable economies law center legal cafe to get some advice about how sudo should handle taxes. Here's what I learned: | This is your treasurer ''notconfusing'' speaking. I'm a tax amateur, and you can too.
