For Serrans: News You Can Use
6/2/08
On Feb. 13, 2008, the Internal Revenue Service released the electronic Form 990-N e-Postcard). Pursuant to a provision of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, tax-exempt organizations with annual gross receipts of $25,000 or less, that were previously exempt from filling Form 990, will be required to file Form 990-N. The first e-postcards are due in 2008 for tax years ending on or after Dec. 31, 2007.
Form 990-N must be filed by the 15th day of the fifth month after the close of the organization’s fiscal year. For example, for all of our US clubs with $25,000 or less of gross receipts, we will file a 990-N by no later than Nov. 15, 2008.
To repeat, the Chicago office will file the 990-N for each US club that qualifies for a 990-N filing. Because all of the club officers are volunteers and change frequently, we will be doing the filing because any club that fails to file for three consecutive years will lose its tax-exempt status.
What you must do: You must submit to this office by no later than Sept. 1, 2008 a summary of all of your income and expenses for the June 1, 2007 to May 31, 2008 period. We need this information in order to determine if your club qualifies for a 990-N filing. If your club has gross receipts of over $25,000, the Chicago office will file the 990 for you.
Please note that this is not optional for your club. A letter has been sent to each club president and treasurer with this information.
