Question: tax id number

I am wondering how to verify a tax id number I was given by the current treasurer. I am not sure about anything within our organization, there are no by-laws to follow and the treasurer does not want to give reports at the meetings.

If you want to verify that tax ID number, also commonly referred to as the EIN, or employer identification number, you can contact the IRS. Take a look at this IRS web page tfor more information. But another thing strikes me in your message. Your group's treasurer really should be providing basic financial information at every meeting.
