Thanks for responding. I'll try to explain a little better. Wasn't sure how to ask, exactly. OK, the forum isn't ran as a business or as a for profit entity. Basically it's a online group of people that share a common interest. We share ideas and methods on all types of gardening interests. The online platform we use requires an administrator to run it and provide a credit card to pay monthly charge for server and software usage. So if I serve as administrator and provide a credit card for the billing, I want to setup a way for members to make contributions to help pay for cost of forum. I was thinking I could setup a PayPal account, so people could send contributions to. The question is, if I do that will I need to be concerned that it would be considered income that I need to report on personal tax return. If I do need to be concerned about PayPal account money being reported to IRS, how would I file taxes to show that money isn't income. That it is going towards paying for usage fees for our online group.
