What does high school booster clubs, school PTOs, and Little League organizations have in common with local sports associations?
Answer: All must file Form 990 or Form 1120 !!

Its the responsibility of the school's principal to oversee operations of school booster clubs. Georgia PTO of Georgia oversees compliance of PTO charters at each school.

No third party oversees the operations of approved local sports officials associations. These associations are free to operate as they see fit, noncompliance with federal and state requirements.


Note: Some version of Form 990 is now required of all 501(c) organizations (except churches, some religious organizations), regardless of gross revenue or past filing requirements...
even if an organization, unincorporated or incorporated, has not yet filed for official 501(c) tax exemption.

Significant penalties, (and even revocation of tax-exempt status,) can result from failure to file a timely and accurate return.


Deadline for filing was May 16th, 2011 for calendar year 2010, all others by the fifth month after closing financial records for the school year.
     Example:  Basketball associations should file Form 990 or Form 1120 no later than 15 July of current year

Its pays to have access to a professional with nonprofit expertise or a licensed IRS Enrolled Agent.


No IRS Determination Letter equals "for profit" organization,
School Districts/Schools must withhold "28" percent of 1099 contractual payment!!

The days of not filing a tax return will end in 2012!!
