IRS Filing Requirements

All Kiwanis Clubs must file with the IRS by Feb. 15 each year

All Kiwanis Clubs are required to file annual tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Tax-exempt organizations whose gross receipts normally are $50,000 or less are not required to file IRS forms 990 or 990-EZ. But they are required to file an electronic form annually. Failure to file for three consecutive years could result in revocation of the organization's tax-exempt status.

IRS information on the electronic form is at Form 990-N.

Not sure if your club has filed? You can look it up on the search page.

The standard information the IRS will require when filing the electronic Form 990-N is the name of your Kiwanis club, mailing address, Web site address (if applicable), employer identification number (EIN), annual tax period date, and a statement that annual gross receipts are still normally $50,000 or less.

Because Kiwanis International operates on a fiscal year of Oct. 1 to Sept. 30, the filing due date is Feb. 15 each year.

More information is available on the Kiwanis International web site, at https://www.kiwanis.org/who-we-are/governance-financials-public/irs-forms/.

Information on other legal and tax issues which Kiwanis clubs must consider also is available.
