Don’t Let the IRS Take Your Non-Profit Status Away

Posted at 09:59 AM on Sunday, February 5, 2012 by post12025

In the past couple of years, the Internal Revenue Service has taken the “Non-Profit” status away from VFW posts and Auxiliaries for not complying with the financial reporting system that is required by all organizations.

If you lose your “Non-Profit” status, your organization will be subjected to being charged taxes for all of your income and taxes on the property owned by your organization.

If your organization’s annual income is less than $50,000.00, all you have to do is file an annual IRS “postcard” form 990n. This form is filed annually by using the internet reporting system.

If your organization needs assistance in filing the 990n for your organization, your Department Headquarters can and will assist you and even file for you. All that is needed is for you to request it.

Send an e-mail to qm@nc.vfwwebmail.com with your organization’s Employer Identification Number (EIN) and organization’s point of contact information as outlined below. You can "snailmail" the information below to Department Headquarters if you wish.

POC for this information is: Richard C. “Dick” Easingwood, 910-818-2266 or easicrea@earthlink.net

Need: Post/Aux Number, Post/Aux official mailing address, Post EIN/Post POC contact information.

First Amendment Prevails at Houston VA National Cemetary

Posted at 01:36 AM on Tuesday, October 25, 2011 by post12025

The Veterans of Foreign Wars today(Friday) declared victory in a Federal Lawsuit ( Rainey v VA) filed over allegations of religious hostility and unlawful censorship by the VA and its director of the Houston National Cemetery. 

Federal District Judge Lynn N. Hughes signed a consent decree ordering the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) to lift the ban on prayer and the word "God" at national cemeteries, to revoke national policies hostile to religion, and to reopen the Chapel which identity was previously changed to "meeting facility" at the Houston National Cemetery.  

Texas-based Liberty Institute filed suit on behalf of the VFW over allegations of religious hostility and unlawful censorship by the VA and its director of the Houston National Cemetery. Officials told the VFW they could not have prayer during the burial services of veterans unless the family requested it specifically in writing and submitted the prayer to VA officials for pre-approval.    

"The VFW is grateful that the government has restored the basic tenets recognized in the U.S. Constitution – which guarantees fundamental rights of religious expression and freedom of speech – to patriotic Americans who sacrifice everything to defend it.  This is indeed a victory." said VFW National Commander Richard DeNoyer.
