Summary of tax exempt status
o
HCA had previously held tax exempt status but it
has lapses and we are no longer in good standing with the IRS
o
Attempts to reinstate have thus far been unsuccessful
o
We recently received communication from IRS
clarifying contents of a previous communication that was never received: in
order to be in good standing we must submit the original organizing documents
filed on 4/30/97 with the Maryland Secretary of State
§
We have been unable to locate these and the MD
SOS reports they have no record of our organization
§
If we are unable to locate these documents we
can submit a signed declaration to the IRS
o
Regardless of document status, we will need to pay
the $600 filing fee again
