Legal Question in Tax Law in California

Our fraternal society is incorporated in North Carolina as a non-profit corporation. We intend to expand activities to California and establish a bank account in California. What do we need to do if anything to satisfy the State of California -- so we are not subject to taxes on dues collected and deposited in California?

If you are active in California, such as maintaining an office or performing functions, you should register your corporation as a foreign non-profit acting in California. Your Federal 501(c)(3) or other tax exempt status will be recognized.

Frankly, most non-profit entities are not properly organized and have many tax and legal issues which are not addressed because they do not want to spend money on a tax attorney to represent them. You should immediately seek good counsel.

I hope this helps!
