Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses Closing; IRS Tax-Exempt Organization Complaint Form 13909 by: 8mayuenfai@gmail.com During this youtube, be prepared to stop the video and follow or copy the links that are presented. Or you can open my comments under the youTube window and click on the links from my narration. The Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Boonville Mo was dissolved 10 September 2015. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydbKXyNECic The announcement made that night was that the congregation had been dissolved, the Kingdom Hall being sold and the congregation assigned to Columbia South Congregation. The Kingdom Hall property is now under control of Watchtower and not the local congregation. The procedes from the sale of this property will go to Watchtower or one of its cover corporations. A number of questions are logical to ask about the financial side of this equation. 1.What are the real reasons it was deemed necessary to liquidate this property? 2.How will Watchtower be using the financial procedes from the sale of this property? Are they accountable as a charity? As a religion, Watchtower has tax exempt status in USA. However, the IRS does collect information from charitable non-profit organizations. What can be done? Two or more things you can do to help. 1. You can file Federal IRS form 13909, Tax-Exempt Organization Complaint (Referral) Form. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f13909.pdf 2. File New York state Complaint Form with the Charities Bureau of the New York State Attorney Generals Office. https://www.ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/pdfs/complaints/comp_char.pdf The process is explained at this site: https://www.irs.gov/uac/IRS-Complaint-Process-For-Tax-Exempt-Organizations I will show you why and how you should do this. WHY file this complaint: Tax-Exempt organizations are required to submit IRS tax form 990 return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax. Follow the url links for two such 990 reports from Watchtower connected organizations. http://www.faqs.org/tax-exempt/MI/Henrietta-M-Riley-Trust-33b006006-Fbo-Watch-Tower-Bible.html 2.http://www.eri-nonprofit-salaries.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=NPO.Summary&EIN=386043103&Cobrandid;=0 Carefull examination of these reports will point to places where Watchtower is investing their money, which is millions of dollars.
