Carol Topp, the HomeschoolCPA was recently asked if a homeschool co-op had to be a nonprofit? The homeschool leader, Laura, asked, “Does a homeschool co-op have to be a nonprofit or can it just run using PayPal account to collect insurance and facility fees that get paid doesn’t out again. Is it illegal to not be a nonprofit?”
I understand her confusion. I discuss nonprofit status so often that homeschool leaders wonder if its absolutely necessary.
In this episode of the podcast, Carol explains
- What two things it takes to be a nonprofit
- The difference between nonprofit and tax exempt status
- If you’re not a nonprofit, what are you?
- Some of the tax advantages of being a nonprofit
- Other advantages of being a nonprofit
