Legal and Tax Considerations for Your Genealogical Society

Is your society incorporated?  Did you know that most societies are not incorporated as a 501(c)(3) corporation, but are organized and incorporated under their individual state laws and merely qualify for tax-exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code?

If your society is not incorporated, is your President aware that they might be held personally responsible for every contract or agreement involving your society?

What does "not-for-profit" actually mean?  Did you know that it's totally okay for your society to make money?

Join guest Frederick E. Moss, JD, former Associate Dean and Professor of Law at Texas Wesleyan University School of Law, in this episode as he discusses these and other challenges your society may be facing, or may face in the future.
