Wow wow wow! These are really amazing replies. I am so grateful right now! The thing about this particular 501(c)(3) nonprofit is that it is a cat rescue and we are brand new with our status. Just got it in 2022.However, despite our 501c3 being brand new, we have been rescuing a long time.and are already responsible for many rescued cats. Given that we deal primarily with street cats and medical issues, there is not yet a donor base., every cent comes out of pocket.I’m sure the IRS doesn’t much care about any of that, but obviously because they’re living things, I can’t just sit back and wait for donations in order to feed them and get them help. They are here until they get adopted (🙏🏼) My expectation is that this year will be different, but 2022 was all straight out of my person earnings from work. I’m really very thankful for the suggestions, and I believe that I will be seeking out an accountant instead of trying to do it all on my own on TurboTax. It’s really important to me that I do not screw this up. Little lives even depend on me getting the paperwork right.
