Brothers and Sisters, Please take a few moments to watch this helpful video about the importance of submitting the IRS Form 990. It is imperative that all affiliates complete this critical step in retaining their non-profit status. In solidarity, Edward A. Kelly |
Additionally, the IAFF has a list of locals that lost their status on web site under secretary treasurer tools.
Please read this important information prepared by Nat Lambright. Any questions, his contact information is below. This will also be discussed at upcoming legal conference.
Starting for tax years ending on or after December 31, 2007, small tax-exempt unions whose gross receipts are $50,000 or less have been required to file an electronic Form 990-N with the IRS. Before that date there was no similar filing requirement for these small unions.
If a union failed to file the Form 990-N with the IRS for three consecutive years, its tax-exempt status was automatically revoked by the IRS. There is a process a small union can take to check whether its tax-exempt status has been revoked and to apply with the IRS to reinstate it.
