Hello Scott,

Excellent issue about taxes:

+ It is my understanding of the current tax code that, should an
+ organization "charge" for a function, the funds collected become
+ taxable.� If the same function is financed by "donations," no
+ tax liability accrues.� In the former case, the organization's
+ tax-exempt status might come up for investigation; in the latter,
+ the question does not arise, nor would it arise if the function
+ were gratis.� If my understanding is incorrect, I welcome
+ correction.

���� This is quite correct with a peculiar exception according to my
understanding...if an officially registered tax-exempt organization
charges or requires a donation more than the actual market value of a
product then the charge/donation is tax exempt...re: PBS tax exempt
product for donation offers...M.K.R.D. I believe does taxes and can
answer more.

�� I myself would like to see a healthier economic flow transcendent of
taxation..see
