To limit liability, I have suggested that a group with which I am involved register with the state as a non-profit corporation. Going through the complications of 501(c)(3) status isn't important for us. We don't have employees, or any assets other than, potentially, a bank account. The main objection is that we would have to file a tax return. I doubt this would be terribly involved. I can't get an answer on what type of tax return we would need to use. Would we use one for a regular corporate tax return since we're not a 501(c)(3)? How complicated are these returns? We probably bring in $5,000 or less per year from donations and fundraisers.
What type of tax returns are required for a non-profit corporation that doesn't have 501(c)(3) status?
Do your donors know that they aren't contributing to a 501(c)(3)? They can't deduct their charitable contributions to you on their tax returns.
Organizations with gross receipts less than $25,000 annually are not required to file an annual return. But that only applies if you ARE a 501(c)(3). Maybe you should check into that tax exempt status.

I think the Form 990 is used.

Better to file a Form 990 to cover all the bases whether the organization is 501(c)(3) or not.
Reply:Form 990-EZ
Reply:There are organizations that are not 501(c)(3) who use a 990, but according to the instructions on irs.gov, it's for organizations exempt from income tax and that doesn't sound like what you are. I'm not sure from your description where the "non-profit" designation comes from, or if you're just a regular corporation.
I'd suggest that you call the IRS, describe your organization, and ask them what needs to be filed.

How can I be sure my doctor will not tie my tubes during my c section?
This may sound paranoid but I have read stories where women did not consent to tubal ligation and found out later that this procedure was forced on them during a c section. Is there anyway I would know that this was done to me?
How can I be sure my doctor will not tie my tubes during my c section?
If a doctor did this, he would be sued, and he would lose his license. It would not make any sense. You could try delivering in a Baptist hospital like me.... I had to sign a consent for 3 months in advance, see a counselor, sign another consent form when I went into labor.... and then they still didn't even want to do the tubal ligation (I guess sterilization is against their beliefs).
Reply:Are you in the United States?
I personally wouldn't worry about it - if you are, find another doctor you can trust. Or a better preventative measure would be to have natural childbirth and forget the c-section. (It's not as bad as women think - I've done it, with and WITHOUT drugs!)
But as much as doctors are sued, and how much it costs for the to have malpractice insurance, I doubt they would intentionally do that to you. Because they could be sued for millions, lose their license, their work and their life.
I don't know of a single doctor who would risk that to give a woman a tubal ligation.
Reply:You have to be informed about a procedure and then give written consent for it to be performed. The doctor typically provides the information, you sign the consent and the nurse witnesses that the patient was well informed. Without this informed consent no surgery should take place - that would be not only unethical but illegal.
To do a tubal ligation (tie tubes) more than the doctor would have to be involved. The nurse would need to put the tubes in containers for pathology, the scrub tech would need to prep the OR for the tubal, etc. If you are worried about this, you can pay attention to what is being said and done during your c-section. The doctor or the scrub tech will say they have the left tube and the nurse comes and collects it, and then again for the right. It's not something they can do in secret without you knowing unless you are asleep for the procedure.
Hope this helps.
Reply:In America, a surgeon can perform a surgery without your consent if three things are in place: 1-your life is in present danger and you are unconscious/unable to give consent, 2-they have tried and failed to contact next of kin and #1 is still true, 3-informed consent has occurred.
Informed consent (i.e. patient has been given a reasonably complete list of possible consequences of surgery) should always take place prior to the surgery. It is at this time that you should make the surgeon/doctor aware that under no circumstances do you want your tubes tied. For legal protection, the hospital will probably require you to sign a form stating your wish. This will be honored as long as the above three conditions have been met. This is to protect the hospital and doctor from litigation in the event of your death.

Reply:i don't think there is a way you can know if your doctor has done this to you or not when your laying there on that table. all you have to do is hope that you have a good doctor and make sure someone is there with you in the room. at some hospitals they let the person in there with you watch whats going on and in other hospitals they don't let you watch nothing and they make you sit behind the blind thing. i had a c section and i have faith in my doctor, and he told me that iam still Young and i need to have more kids,than just this one, so there for i know that he hasn't tide my tubes.(we i hope). good luck
Reply:it is illegal to tie your tubes without your consent any procedure you have you have to fill out a written consent. Why are you sooo paranoid??
Reply:he cannot perform a surgery without your consent otherwise he will be responsible and can be sued
Reply:A doctor can not preform any surgery on you without writen consent. Period.

What do iodine solution and vitamin C have anything to do with each to do with each other? its for my project?
plz help! this is for my science fair project and i rlly rlly need to knw because the project says that when vitamin C is added into the iodine solution mixed with distilled water and cornstarch, it is supposed to turn lighter in color (which was indigo/blue) can someone plz tell me why is that?
What do iodine solution and vitamin C have anything to do with each to do with each other? its for my project?
you can determine the amount of vitamin c in a solution by titrating it with and iodide solution. once iodide has reacted with all of the available vitamin c it will react with the cornstarch and produce a color change letting you know that all of the vitamin c has reacted. check the reference link for more information. good luck.

How do I prevent a c-section from occuring when a baby is bridged or if the baby is sitting down in the womb?
My sister has had two children and she is expecting another one. She had to go through a c-section because her second child was bridged.
How do I prevent a c-section from occuring when a baby is bridged or if the baby is sitting down in the womb?
Do you mean BREECHED?
Usually if the baby is breech, they can attempt to turn the baby around, which if you're really trying to avoid a c-section, then it might be the right option for you. But it's not for everyone, as it doesn't always work and it can be very painful.
However, just because your sister had a breech baby, doesn't mean you will, it doesn't run in families.
Reply:do you mean BREECH? breech means right side up, the proper way is head down. C Section is the safest was for baby and mother to be safe during delivery so they almost always deliver them by c section. Just because her first was breech does not mean this one will be too. She may be able to have a vaginal delivery:)
Reply:there are things that you can do it home put your elbows on the ground and lean down with your knees on the ground and stay that way for about 10-15 mins a couples times a day or you can lay down and stick a couple pillows under your back with your butt elevated for a while a couple times a day..... that is what my midwife told me to do and it worked.... good luck
Reply:I'm assuming you mean the baby is breech (bottom down instead of head). There is a proceedure where the doctor can try to rotate the baby by pressing on the mothers belly however it is painful and isn't always sucessful. It's really up to the doctor whether she thinks it will work but your sister can always ask.
Reply:My baby is breech and we are hoping it will turn in time. Just because she had one baby breech does not mean that her next one will be. If it is though, she can have another c-section or have the baby turned (as an above poster said, this is painful and not always successful).
If the baby is in frank breech (the butt is towards the birth canal with the body folded in half and feet towards the head) it is possible to deliver the baby through vaginal delivery, although many doctors won't because it carries a very high risk. This type of delivery is hard on both the mother and the baby (at least that's what I understand).
There are two other types of breech as well, footling breech and complete breech. Footling breech is when the baby is feet first. Complete breech is when the butt is towards the birth canal with the legs folded so the feet are by the butt.
Both of these are generally delivered by cesarean delivery.
There are some homeopathic remedies that can be used to try to get the baby to turn. Exercises done on the hands and knees with the pelvis elevated can help. As can laying on the stomach with the hips lifted, this is best done when the baby is active.
Reply:the doc can try to reposition the baby before birth
Reply:I dont think there is anything u can do humanly to prevent a c-section, for a bridgeed baby at 36wks.let your .obst.decide whats best for u. For now just pray and trust God.
best of luck

How do I bypass the a/c on a '99 jeep cherokee?
No one, not even Summit racing has been able to come up with a practical solution. the closest i've come is to custom fit a belt, bypassing the a/c compressor.
How do I bypass the a/c on a '99 jeep cherokee?
I would give quadratech a call. (www.quadratec.com) if it has to do with jeeps there the people to talk to.
Reply:You do realize your compressor doesn't run all the time, now if the clutch is seized look for a manual for same vehicle W/O A/C. this will show the routing and what pulley may be missing or need to be moved. the front of the engine will accept the change without custom work. Yes they do make them without A/C
Reply:You've got it. Remove the a/c compressor and get a tape measure from one of the fabric stores. Find a patient auto parts counter person to match you up with a belt. Get the A/C discharged at a mechanic. Liquid refrigerant is no fun when it gets in your face.
Reply:that works and unplug the power wire from it.

How do you type the high C like in McElroy?
I can't figure out how to get the c to the top instead of the default as in McElroy.
How do you type the high C like in McElroy?
According the ASCII charts and unicode charts that are responsible for the keystrokes and letters the only true way to do it on a computer is the way you originally typed it. It you are willing to try a different approach to the c there is another character similar to it..%26gt; To make it you hold down ALT and type in 136. It looks like this...ç and the upper case version of this is ALT 128...like this Ç. Again... I cannot locate any version other than this to assimilate the Mc action.

How do you move all your music from the C drive to D drive without erasing them from Itunes?
I use windows (it's a Japanese OS but I understand most of it). My C drive is full because it automatically puts all of my music in the "My Music" folder which apparently goes to the C: drive. It would take hours and hours to move everything to the D: drive and then reinstall it onto Itunes. Is there an easier way?
How do you move all your music from the C drive to D drive without erasing them from Itunes?
Just move it all using Windows Explorer, and then go into iTunes and change the library (Edit - Preferences - Advanced - General).
When I change computers, I just back up all my music to my iPod (as an external disk), and then load it to my library of choice on my new PC. I install iTunes, switch libraries, and the job is done. Easy.
