[OKDXA] Website/PayPal Changes

[Jeff Martin]

Good Morning OKDXA...

   I have made a few changes to the OKDXA website. You will now see 
"Membership Info" under both the "About" column and the "OKDXA Members" 
column. On the Membership Info page you can find information about OKDXA 
membership dues, a link to a printable application form should you 
choose to mail in your application and/or dues, a link to the 
application webform to fill out online and submit, and a link to paypal, 
should you choose to pay via paypal.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
   As of Jan. 1, 2023, the IRS requires Paypal to withhold taxes on any 
paypal transactions for Goods and Services after a threshold of $600 is 
reached in a calender year. Friends and family payments are exempt.
   So, it is VERY IMPORTANT to select PAYMENT TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY when 
you do your Paypal payment.

   This new IRS requirement precipitated the changes. I did some 
research. We would need to file paperwork with the state to create a 
non-profit organization and then apply for a Federal Tax ID number. Then 
yearly reports would be required... Way too much hassle... So, this is a 
work-around... I hope... If we use the Friends and Family payment 
method, we can keep using paypal...
