Homeschool mom, author and accountant. I enjoy helping homeschool leaders start and run their homeschool groups successfully.

What financial reports do we need to generate monthly?

A homeschool leader wonders what financial statements she should be reviewing each month.

This is a great opportunity for a homeschooling parent with an accounting background. It's flexible, home-based and very rewarding!

How much you can control an independent contractor is a very difficult question to answer

Homeschool leaders will know if they are paying their volunteers, board members and workers legally and correctly.

Your homeschool organization can pay a volunteer, but the pay must be reported to the IRS.

A homeschool leader is given a check to pay her way to a homeschool convention. Is it taxable income?

Is shared teaching still homeschooling or is it a micro school?

Free or reduced tuition may be taxable compensation to your board members.

IRS Form w-9 should be collected from every independent contractor paid by your homeschool organization.

Your nonprofit organization may need to close an old EIN. Here's how.
