Change in Councils and Assemblies Reporting to the IRS
All councils need to be
made aware of -
regardless
of how much money they take in each year, all councils must file with
the IRS starting this year.
I have just been made aware of a change in councils and assemblies
reporting to the IRS. Please see the
attached documents. In the past, assemblies and councils had to file
with the IRS if they were taking in more than $25,000 in gross
receipts. Starting this year, all assemblies and councils have to file
with the IRS regardless of how much money they take in. The Supreme
Legal Department sent emails to council and assembly officers advising
them of this change, but there are people who do not have computers so
may not have received this information. If you know of anyone who does
not have a computer and they would like a copy of the packet, they could
contact the Legal Department and request a paper copy. The form needed
is Form 990-N and it is an E-Postcard. This could be obtained by going
on the following website:
www.irs.gov
This website gives instructions about what is needed to file and how to
do it.
