    Re: IRS Information and Tax Exempt Status

    We have just been informed of a special toll free number that posts can use to contact the IRS in Cincinnati. This group in Cincinnati is reported to be especially trained in tax exempt issues and may help solve a lot of the problems posts are having. The usual IRS telephone numbers reach people who have not been trained and may not give the proper information.

    The number to call in Cincinnati is: (877) 829-5500

    FOR YOUR INFORMATION: 

    THIS IRS ANNOUNCEMENT MAY BE OF SIGNIFICANT INTEREST TO THE POSTS IN YOUR DEPARTMENT.

    IRS has announced that under a one-time relief program small tax-exempt organizations that failed to file returns for 2007, 2008 and 2009 can avoid losing their tax-exempt status by filing a return by Oct. 15, 2010. Two types of relief are available: (1) a filing extension for the smallest organizations (eligible to file Form 990-N); and (2) a voluntary compliance program for small organizations (eligible to file Form 990-EZ).  (Download full text of message)

    Note from Deptartment Adjutant

    According to the IRS, if an entity loses it group tax-exempt status, they will not be able to rejoin the group and will have to file paperwork as an individual entity and pay a $400-850.00 fee, in order to reestablish their status

    Please give widest dissemination.
