Ron, the UAMCC was not a business (CA corporation) until 2009. Everyone that donated money knew exactly what they were doing. Money was given to Carlos personally, in good faith, to be used towards the development of the organization. There is no tax premise there. One could ask Carlos for pre-corporate formation of bank statements but he would not be under any obligation to make them public. Many people gave cash. No one was looking for a tax break. It was a bunch of contractors coming together to better the industry. Like many transactions of the days before lawsuits and legal-eze, things were done with good faith. The good faith was well placed or those same people that donated would not have joined the organization when it formally started taking memberships.
I believe the UAMCC has always been a corp since 2006.
Your correct if corp taxes filed in 2009 are private profit corp then Carlos has no Obligation.
If you remember the UAMCC was a for profit Corp. I was a member since the start. Robert Signed the papers over to Carlos Direct, Carlos then Asked if we should start a for Profit or Non.
Why are you answering these questions? Why cant Carlos answer them for all members involved? ( including myself)
I still represent a share of the UAMCC non profit Corp. There was no BOD so I could not be thrown out. I am kept from benifits I paid for, banner & many other discounts.
I want to know who will reinburse me for 17,000 dollars work of mailers and stationery I cannot use since I'm no longer a member aledged.
