    Fedral Tax Returns (July 1st- June 30th)

These forms may be filed any time after the close of the fiscal year (June 30) but must be received by the IRS no later than November 15. Apply for a 3-month extension, Form 8868, if you will not be able to make the November 15 filing deadline.

    State Tax Returns (July 1st- June 30th)

    California State Franchise Tax Board form 199N must be filed electronically by all units and councils with gross receipts normally less than or equal to $50,000 or form 199 with gross receipts greater than $50,000.

    RRF-1 Forms  (July 1– June 30)

     All councils and units must have a valid charitable trust (CT) number and must file an annual registration renewal form with the California Attorney General/Registry of Charitable Trusts. These forms may be filed any time after the close of the fiscal year (June 30) but must be received by the Registry of Charitable Trusts no later than November 15. Please note: a new CT-TR1 Annual Treasurer’s Report is required in addition to the RRF-1 should your gross annual receipts total $50,000 or LESS.

    California Secretary of State SI-100 (Statement of Information) 

     All incorporated councils and units must file an SI-100 form and the $20 filing fee with the California Secretary of State every other year, during the applicable filing period, which is in the calendar month during which the initial Articles of Incorporation were filed and the immediately preceding five calendar months. Councils and units incorporated in odd-numbered years must file the SI-100 in odd-numbered years. Councils and units incorporated in even-numbered years must file the SI-100 in even-numbered years. NOTE: This form MUST be filed biennially (every other year) even if a notice to file is not received. The Secretary of State may not send a reminder of the filing due date.

    Note:​

    It is highly suggested that all tax returns and government agency-required forms be sent via “Certified Mail—Return Receipt Requested.” This is the only proof you have that filing requirements have been met by specified due dates.

    REMEMBER—Non-profit organizations may not have to pay taxes, but they DO HAVE TO PAY FINES FOR NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES AND REGULATIONS
