After talking to the accountant, it is my understanding is MICE would not pay income taxes on the donation. On Thu, Dec 1, 2016 at 4:58 PM, Brady Kittel <bkittel@gmail.com> wrote:
Thanks for the clarification Jay, so what I was getting at is MICE would owe taxes on the value of the donation if it were not classified as a non-profit when the donation was received.

Also just a big thanks to USI (and Arista?) for the donation. This is not
a small amount of hardware. I'm a bit behind the curve but I'm assuming the IX has cleared the hurdles for proper federal non-profit status now? I only ask as we sure don't want to have to pay taxes on the value of a 7504 with blades next April if we aren't yet and thus would need to stall on taking actual possession of the equipment until non-profit status is achieved.
Our request for 501c6 status has been filed. MICE is allowed to operate as a 501c6 until the IRS tells us otherwise. Donations are not tax deductible but port fees may be tax deductible as business expenses.
