I'd love to use my button business to help goons in need somehow but I don't really know how I can do that. I'm too broke to contribute actual dollars but I could contribute buttons as long as shipping was covered. I dunno, like, if you contribute to the goonfund and cover shipping($4) I'll send you some free buttons? I dunno, I've just been helped by goons A LOT and I would like to help somehow. So yea if you've contributed to this hit me up and cover shipping and I'll send you some cool buttons, whatever you want really.

Elephanthead posted:You can do this without a lawyer in 3 minutes. (In delaware) Different states can be very, very different in this regard, and getting the most advantage requires you to also interact with the feds. For the most part, setting up a corporation is a few minutes of filling out a short, potentially single-page form; individual states may or may not have specific types of business registrations for non-profit vs. profit, and the amount of benefit you get from registering as such various greatly from state to state. If you then want to become a 501(c)(3) charity, you have to do a lot of additional paperwork with the IRS. This paperwork is federal, and does not vary from state to state. It's 20-some pages of forms, plus a ton of supporting documentation, schedules, and other bullshit. I've seen an application for a relatively small charity that wound up over 100 pages. But 501(c)(3)s have much lower taxes than simple state-registered non-profits. The most fundamental truth of the US tax code is that it is designed, first and foremost, to give the greatest advantage to those who can afford to spend the most time and effort organizing their interaction with it. For anyone looking into this themselves:

There are two issues the main one being this is taxable income and you will get a k1 or some poo poo from paetron. The second issue is if you are going to be a not for profit and accept money you need to do it right because they don't want people scamming other people like Trump does and buying paintings with it. To be a not for profit you don't need to do poo poo with the IRS you just need to incorporate in your state or another state as one. It is just the contributions are not guaranteed to be tax deductible for the donors. It gets complicated as you accept money from many states and some require registration to do so. If you could find a local church or not for profit to run all this through it could solve some of plinkeys headaches. They might want a modest fee to do so. You could also show the activity on your tax return as some side business but I am not an expert on personal charities not of a legal entity type and IRS fuckaery. Either way you are aware of the issue(s) and it really does suck.

Seems like a valid use of the donations to pay for that lawyer so you don't get owned by the IRS. Here lies Plinkey, he wanted to do good but it's a real PITA.

Is everything frozen until the legal issues? I just found out that, because my wife abandoned me a year and a half ago and I have no way to get ahold of her, I can't get the stimulus check because she filed "Married Filling Separately" (no I don't know how she got my SSN) and now I would have to file the same, which I can't do because I don't know her SSN. Tried the IRS portal and talked to two tax places and I'm hosed. Edit: this means I'm also not getting a $500 EITC, either lol. I love bureaucracy.

I feel you; I can't file for my return because I worked restaurants that never sent me my W2's, and now they're closed and I don't have a way to get them. Did you try this site? IRS just rolled it out for people who can't/didn't have to file bc they didn't make enough. No idea if it'll work for you, but maybe worth a shot to get them trumpbux. https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here

wait I can't tell, do you actually need help setting thsi up? you;ll want to open a registered 501c3, do it in Deleware, and make yourself the PRESIDENT. You will then make the patreon a contribution TO this "charity" which will then "give" the "money" to "people in need who need it" and you will use like turbotax or loving excel or some poo poo to track it and you probably have to have a yearly meeting as stipulated by the bylaws you're going to copy from the legalzoom.com torrent or whatever look i'll even spot you the buy in for the stupid legal poo poo lets goooooooo
