Question I have a Non profit organization and someone wanted to donate but asked for a W9 form. Where do I get that? Also is that the receipts we give out when someone donates money?
You can download a blank IRS Form W9 just by Google search. That said, a donor really doesn't need that, but it's ok to provide it. And no...a W9 should never be used to receipt a donation.
Does a nonprofit, such as The Salvation Army, 501(c)3 organization leasing a building from a church, also a "charitable" and "religious" 501(c)3 need to ask the church to complete a W-9 for The Salvation Army type of organization?
Our non-profit provided a day camp art class for a small school in our area. The cost was a total of $625.00. We served 25 students at $25.00 each. I received a 1099- NEC yesterday and I am not sure what the next step would be. Thank you in advance. Jenny with Imagine Community Arts Center
Did you provide services to the nonprofit as an independent contractor? That's what receiving a 1099-NEC would indicate. If so, you would report the income on your tax return as business income on Schedule C, and deduct any directly related business expenses. Net profit from the activity is taxable income. If you did not provide services for compensation as a contractor, then you may have been issued the 1099 in error.
I have a 501c3 nonprofit , and another nonprofit is asking me to fill out a W9 before they give me food donations, how do I fill this form out and why do I even need to if my organization is not contracted to work for the other organization, we’re just getting food from them?
We don't know the reasoning behind why the other organization is requesting a W9 from you. It is unusual. But, there's no harm in filling one out. Box 3a can be confusing, so mark "Other" and write nonprofit corporation in that line. Your box 4 exemption code should be "1". Then, just fill in your EIN number in Part I, then sign and date.
Hello! I wanted to start a non profit but was warry when I heard about needing board members that could ultimately control things. What if they take it in a whole bad direction? Then I had a friend who started a non profit in CA and told me "I make all the decisions in my non profit" she basically said her board doesnt make the decisions, she does. And her board is more of an advisory boad. She claims I can make all the decicions and just put that in the "Bilaws" that thats how the non profit is run. Was she wrong or did she find some kind of a loop hole? How can she make all the decisions in her non-profit?
Unless you're filing taxes in another country, your Form 1040 does not ask you to report gifts received. Gifts are generally not federally taxable to the recipient.
GOT A QUESTION?! Let us know in the comments. Your question could be answered in the next installment of Q&A with Greg.
I started to a use the square platform to receive tithes for our (church) a non profit org. Are we required to pay taxes
No, a church is tax exempt on its donation income, no matter the platform that it receives it from.

@FoundationGroup That's what I figured and thank you for your help.
Does a non-profit issue a 1099 misc for rent to an LLC Property Management? Thank you. a lot of great information
Sorry for the delayed response. In most cases, the answer is "yes".

In transactional situations like this, the answer is most likely "yes". Rent payments are often reported on Form 1099-MISC.

I thought all income, including gifts, were taxable. If they aren't taxable, why does it ask for it when I do my taxes?
