Veterans question
A new corporation that
has not yet filed it's
first IRS return.
Had a reunion; and had
monies taken in, including
possibility of some profit.
Indications are that newly
elected officers may ignore
the filing duty responsibility.
If this occurs, does the five (5)
creating officers of the
corporation, and related
EIN number acquisition, face
the possibility of being
'harassed' by the IRS for
the taxes due, etc.?
Thanks

Re: Veterans question
The organization should already have engaged a CPA (note: not some guy who calls himself an "accountant" but a real Certified Public Accountant) to assist with this kind of issue. Not sure why the company is organized as a for-profit corporation, but this may also have been a mistake. A CPA can evaluate the situation, and may recommend dissolving the existing entity and forming a non-profit corporation instead.
