- Obtain the meeting's agreement.
- Determine the signatories on the account (the treasurer and at least one other person should be able to sign checks). These people will have to break their anonymity.
- Obtain a Tax ID Number (EIN) for your group:
- Enter your meeting's name and number as the "legal name" on the online form at the IRS website.
- Check "other nonprofit organization" under "Type of entity" and enter "12-Step Group" where it says "specify."
- Check "banking purpose" and specify "To open a checking account for our group" under "Reason for Applying."
- Use the current date for "date business started or acquired."
- Check "Health care and social assistance" under "principal activity of your business".
- Complete the other fields and submit the form.
- Your EIN will be given to you automatically online and confirmed by mail within a week or so.
- Have the account signatories take your EIN paper to the bank.
- Make sure you put your group number as part of the name on the checking account.
- When a new treasurer is elected, add that person as a signatory on the account.
- Remember to send contributions to your local Intergroup, local GSR group, and the DA General Service Office.
