[PhiZetaNational] Administrative reminders

[Eleanor Josephson]

Greetings, Phi Zeta members,

As the spring semester draws to a close, please make sure your chapter has reported any activity using the following fillable forms found at the national organization's website www.societyofphizeta.org/forms-and-documents<http://www.societyofphizeta.org/forms-and-documents>.

*         Chapter Officer Report

*         New Members Report

Also, for chapters whose tax year is January to December, remember to file your IRS 990-N report by May 15th (www.irs.gov/990n<https://www.irs.gov/990n>).   Chapters with tax years that span other 12 month periods should file their 990-N report by the 15th day of the 5th month after their tax year ends.  For example, for a chapter whose tax year ends on June 30th, their filing deadline is November 15th.  The 990-N form is your report to the IRS that your chapter is a non-profit entity with an annual income of $50,000 or less.  Failure to file a 990N report for 3 consecutive years will result in a chapter losing its non-profit status.

If you are unsure of when your Tax Year is, the following is copied from the 990N user guide<https://www.societyofphizeta.org/irs-filing-requirements>:

How can I determine what my exempt organization's tax year is?
A tax year is usually 12 consecutive months.  There are two kinds of tax years:
*         Calendar Tax Year:  This is a period of 12 consecutive months beginning January 1 and ending December 31; or
*         Fiscal Tax Year:  This is a period of 12 consecutive months ending on the last day of any month except December.
Generally, your tax year (or accounting period) can be found in the following documents:
*         Your organization's by-laws.
*         Your application for federal tax-exempt status (Forms 1023, 1023-EZ, 1024, or 1024 A) or the determination letter you received approving your tax-exempt status.
*         The application, Form SS-4, your organization filed to obtain its employer identification number (EIN).
*         A copy of a prior year return, Form 990 or 990-EZ, that you filed with the IRS.
Please contact me if you have any questions or problems.
