We have a tax id!

This morning I went and registered my nonprofit in Renselaer County. I decided to register in Renselaer because I live in Renselaer and I am not sure where my exact location will be when I am starting out. If I need to, I can register the business in Albany. It was very easy and quick to register as a DBA. I am officially known as the Education Center for Refugees and Immigrants. I arrived at the County Clerks Office early and there wasn't a line. It took about five minutes! I paid $39 to register and get a certified copy so I can open a bank account. After, I stopped at a few banks to find out what kind of accounts they offer for businesses. I got home and applied for a tax id through the IRS. I did it online and it was super easy- they give me my tax id within seconds. Things are moving along. Donations are already being put to use. Thank you for your support! You can directly help me start the Education Center by donating at http://www.youcaring.com/fundraiser_details?fundraiser_id=4219&url=educationforrefugeesandimmigrants
