Subject: Non-profit tax fraud

Question
I am a former Advisory Board member of an organization that claims itself non-profit, but does not have 501 (c)3 exemption. The organization acts as non-profit, but has no employees and all the board members kept all the funds generated by fundraising activities without reporting anything to the IRS.  I want to report this as fraud.  Where should I start?

Answer
Complaints could go to your State's Attorney General's Office as
that office generally oversees charities within the state. If the
action is criminal then your local district attorney may be
interested in prosecuting as at:
