Important information about Tax forms: (betasigmaphi.org)
Some chapters have questions about our tax status. Beta Sigma Phi is
not a tax exempt organization. Most chapters do not make enough to
interest the IRS, and what chapters do make they spend on deductible
expenses. BSP does not need to fill out the 990 form as that is for TAX
EXEMPT organizations, If you have questions as to whether your
chapter or council should file tax forms, please contact a local tax
consultant.
Who must file the IRS Form 990-N (e-postcard)?
Federal tax-exempt organizations with gross receipts that are normally
less than $25,000 per year must file the Form 990-N e-postcard. Local
chapters of Beta Sigma Phi are not federal tax-exempt organizations,
therefore, they are not required to file Form 990-N (e-postcard). For
more information, including a list of entities required to file the
e-postcard, click on the following link:
