   Several people emailed me, asking if I had any of the paperwork. No, I
   don't. The computer that had the documents was disposed of when I
   wasn't looking (It's amazing how much of my stuff mysteriously gets
   thrown away or goes missing when I'm out of state or otherwise away
   from home for several days. Truly astounding.) and the backup tapes
   were encrypted and I can't remember the password. (Lesson for all: Yes,
   encrypt your backups. No, don't lose the passwords.)
   The actual tax department paperwork was nothing much. It was either
   paper forms sent by the department or PDFs I printed. Just a few pages
   either way.
   The supporting documentation was the credo, rites, and so on. I made up
   stuff supporting the idea of worship through writing code and
   collecting donations in exchange for receiving the blessing of working
   code, and programming education under the name of training in the
   sacred rites. Don't look for any deep theological meaning, as this was
   somewhere between a prank and an attempted tax scam. Also, don't look
   to my work for guidance, as I didn't get anywhere with it.
