Tax Forms & Related Documentation
The OSDV Foundation was incorporated in April 2007 as a candidate IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, and as a California Public Benefit Corporation. The application for exemption (a time consuming process itself) was completed and filed just recently. As of this writing, the OSDV Foundation's tax status is still pending and in determination review with the IRS. That process can require the better part of a year.
Does this mean you can still support the Foundation? Sure, however, we are obligated, and in fact want to inform you that our status is only pending and not yet granted, and you must take a look at this note here before making any decision to donate.
In the spirit of our pursuits as a public benefit corporation, all of our records will be 100% transparent and available to you -- the public who supports us and our imperative mission to re-invent voting technology into a high assurance trustworthy tool of a digital democracy.
Annual Report & Financial Statements
These are in preparation.
Federal Tax Returns
The Foundation has requested an extension to file its return, which presumably will be granted, and if so the return will be due on 15.September. Should the tax exempt determination not be complete by then (the process can require 9 to 12 months in review with the IRS), then the Foundation will file Form 1120 (Corporate Return). If (and we believe when) our Tax Exempt status is granted byt he Federal Government (and correpondingly the State of CA) the Foundation will file an amended 1120 and then file the regular Form 990 (Non Profit Corporate Tax Return)
State Tax Returns
Correspondingly, the Foundation will file appropriate returns with the State of California pursuant to the laws of the State, and in conjunction with our filing status.
