 Not to be an annoying pain in the **tt, BUT, I'm thinking we must have a CPA or two, along with a half a dozen accountants and maybe one Tax Attorney on this web site who might ask the dreaded question on how this "income" (to Don) is reported....... I do not know if there is currently in place any sort of business structure, but it might be something to consider setting up a quick and simple structured 'Non-Profit' organization for this - and all income can be offset by the cost of the cameras and then the general maintenance from year to year.....just a thought and if its a lame one, please feel free to say so.
