This has felt like a Sunday to me all day. Have been a bit confused most of the day.
I took the money I collected from the fundraiser that was held at the Wichita and Newton Rally’s to the bank this morning. It felt good to get that in the bank.
I attempted to file the income tax for Love in Action. I submitted the application for the 501(c)3 the middle of March. The IRS still hasn’t touched it. They have told me it was received but they haven’t processed it.
I couldn’t file the postcard 990 as the EIN wasn’t yet on the list of applications in process.
I then attempted to file the 990-EZ. I had to pay a company to file it for me as the IRS no longer accepts paper files and they don’t have a way to file it with them direct. I had to pay $84.99 which they didn’t disclose until the very end. The return was rejected. I had forgotten to mark the box that the 501(c)3 was in process. I fixed that and they attempted to file it again. It was rejected again.
I looked up the reason for the rejection and I can’t file until the IRS processes the application and puts me on the pending list.
Geez. I feel like I was chasing my tail around a tree all day. Can they make this any more complicated? Not sure what I will do if they don’t put me on the list before the 15th.
When I got the mail today I received another big donation for Love in Action. We are way over my goal of raising $6,500 now. I won’t have to fundraise for a long time now. That is the part of Love in Action I don’t care for – fundraising. I am grateful we have more than we need for the foreseeable future.
I made sloppy joes this afternoon. I have been needing to up my protein intake and for some reason sloppy joes sounded good. I ate too much though as I feel fuller now than when I was eating. Beef takes longer for me to digest than chicken. I may have to stay up longer tonight to give it more time to go down.
No plans for tomorrow. I do have a friend that needs a couple of forms notarized so they are going to come over to take care of that. Not sure what time they will be over but I don’t have any plans for tomorrow.
Monday I am meeting a friend for lunch and deep conversation. I love days when that can happen.
Tuesday and Wednesday I am scheduled to do taxes if there are enough clients to do them. If I go Wednesday it will be my last shift of the season. Nothing else on my calendar for the rest of the week. Next Sunday we are having family day. I will look forward to that all week.
Lots of empty space on my calendar the rest of the month. I will have to find some new things to do. Wish I could find another volunteer job that is as fun as doing taxes. Will do my best to embrace this empty space and use it for my best and highest good.
Sitting in gratitude knowing Love in Action is well funded for now. Eagerly waiting for the notes from the Detainees to arrive. That will keep me busy for a bit if there are a lot of them. I will need to find pen pals for all that want one and respond to the others.
Reminding myself the tax situation will get resolved when the timing is right. I forgot to allow the Universe to provide the timing.
Grateful for another big donation for Love in Action, grateful for sloppy joes, and grateful for the empty space that is ahead for me.
