[Hcoop-discuss] Tax forms

[Adam Chlipala]

Our secretary Nathan Kennedy, who had volunteered to handle HCoop's IRS 
tax forms for this year, seems to be AWOL.  Though we've applied for tax 
exempt status, the IRS has fallen behind and not stayed within their 
posted time limit for how long it takes to decide on a case, and so our 
case is currently undecided.  Nathan seemed to indicate that the forms 
were basically done weeks ago, but I don't think he ever posted the 
completed forms so that the rest of us could complete the submission 
process.  I haven't been able to contact him this week, including 
through explicit e-mail queries asking what's going on.

Since the postmark deadline for US tax returns is this Saturday, it 
seems that there's no reasonable choice but to assume that we will have 
to prepare the forms again from scratch by post-office closing times on 
Saturday.  I'm sending this message as a heads-up to anyone who might 
have any special prior knowledge that would make doing this particularly 
easy.  I believe that all of our financial records are available online, 
though those for transactions that took place prior to our move to our 
current main server are only immediately accessible to people who were 
members before then.  (I can give any other volunteers access easily 
enough.)

I'm not planning to do anything tonight, and I'm going to try calling 
Nate on the phone tomorrow morning if he hasn't show signs of life by 
then.  I'll send another e-mail to this list if I have to conclude that 
re-doing the forms is really our only option.
