The limit there is $30,000. If you do not bring in at least $30,000 annually, you do not have to file with the state division. (Please note that this is state-dependent; other states may have different limits.) > Also there are federal requirements. I am assuming you file your own 990. The 990-N, for organizations which have revenues of less than $50,000 annually, is free, consists of exactly 4 questions, and is done entirely online, within 5 minutes time. > If NLUG became a non profit again, it would probably behoove this > organization to network with the > center for non profit management.

The difference is that NLUG never filed for federal recognition. >> In the past, NLUG has done a run of Tshirts/polos.
