This type association has dues paying members, does not generate any income. Once they decide to outsource their officiating skills for high school and league contests. There status changes from no income to receipt of income. And should that income be over than $5000, they are required by federal law to apply for an IRS Determination Letter, requesting tax exemption as an unincorporated organization.
