Non-Profit Executive Board Questions

 This post serves to ask questions to the financial business office number that Johanna provided in support of all the tax questions we had regarding seller's permits and late fees.

Collectively we are worried about losing all of our profits for the past year as well as any savings we have made over the past ten years.  This is because we had no seller's permit, and we did not know that we had to keep track of sales tax for the different places that we were selling our physical cards to.

Over the phone I (Sandra Cheng) was told that if they had been digital cards, we would not be liable for the sales tax, but because they had been physical cards, that we need to be keeping track of where the cards were mailed out.  The payer will determine the type of sales tax we will be required to pay. For instance if the cards were shipped to a customer in NJ, the sales tax would be for that NJ sales tax, vs the sales tax for a local buyer in Culver city.


Unfortunately, I don't have access to the account as a third party.  I'm not sure who does.  Maybe we need to set it up as an entity first.
