Dear PoPville

“Dear PoPville,

We’ve had a condo board transition at my building, and have discovered that our condo association has apparently never filed taxes. A quick internet search tells me that this is a common mistake – people assume they don’t have to but in fact we do. We have no idea how to go about doing things with back years and all that, so we’re looking for a CPA/accountant who has experience with condo associations in the DMV area. Thanks!”
