    Cool, so technically we are having a real meeting. Just for the books. Too cool.


    Thanks Bros.

    Church Meeting Report by the secretary.
    Reports, just for the record.
    Old business was any tax stuff.
    I started reading the 42 page instructions for the fed annual income tax.

    There is form 1023 and form 1828 and the form for annual tax one is called form 990 ez (for easy) or regular form 990. And the instructions for each one. Huge.

    This shit is complex. The down side is that it is a lot of work for one person and very difficult to understand and very time consuming. The up side to it (there's always a silver lining to everything in life, if you hang out with me) is that once we understand it and get it and fill out the 12 page form, from there on, every future year we will get it and know how and have a copy of last year's form to look at as help.

    It's well worth doing if we want to continue to go forward and have a church. And maybe do some good things. I would study it all, but not if nobody is here and if everybody is dropping out or quitting. And as I posted before, if necessary, I would pull $300 out of pocket and pay H & R Block to do our taxes. But I sure don't want to blow hard earned cash only to find out that everybody left. That would suck.

    The Bottom line.
    Here's what I found out.
    1. We have to make 50,000 dollars or more, or they don't want to hear from us.
    2. You are a non-profit automatically if you are a church. As long as you keep books and can show that you are not putting a bunch of church money into your personal pockets. That would be called Profit!
    But you are allowed to get regular pay for running the church. You have to show a payroll record on the books. That's all.
    3. Any donations are non-profit. We can give church recipes.
    4. Corps must do an electronic filing, Only! No post Office mail ins are allowed.
    5. And Corp deadline is not April 15th but it is May 15th. That's new news.

    So, that's basically the business reports. Old Biz.

    I don't know that there is any new business or continuing agenda for this meeting.

    Thanks for being here.

    I think that we should look into the State of Texas website to read their 2 page filling instruction and form. See what is needed there, if anything.

    It would be far better to know than to not know.


    Any other news?
    Any other talk?

    Well, I would guess that this meeting is closed just due to lack of stuff.

    Officially closed unless anyone has any more to say.

    Thanks to all of you guys for showing up. We had our meeting for the official record, and it had record full attendance. Thanks guys.


    Next is October like between the first and the 15th. Thanks.

    Hi Mary,

    Any news on those 3 forms that you were going to receive in the mail?
    Did you get them? Are they the same as the 3 that we down-loaded from the Texas comptroller website?

    Do you want me to go through them and for me to fill them out, first, for you? I will. That's cool. Please tell me.

    Let me know how we are proceeding on this one. OK? Thanks.

    Love
    Ken

    hey yall, samuraijack here.
    i live in texas,
    back in 2007?2008? we had a pretty good "youth minister."
    he put together a really good time, but his *best accomplishment(after lot(s) of trials,)
    was the RED LETTER ROCK FEST.
    he invited lots of "very popular" USA soft and heavy rock/metal bands to come and play in snyder, texas
    people even came from OUT OF TEXAS.
