New IRS Reporting Requirements

It will be necessary to file a form with the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service by November 15, 2008, the 15th day of the fifth month after the close of our tax period. Which form you need to file depends on what your branch’s gross receipts were for our tax year that ended June 30th. For gross receipts of $25,000 or less, an annual electronic notice is all that is required. If you have gross receipts of more than $25,000 then a longer form is required. The Annual Electronic Notice must include the following information: -Organization’s legal name; -Any other names your organization uses; -Organization’s mailing address; -Organization’s website address (if you have one); -Organization’s employer identification number (EIN); -Name and address of a principal officer of your organization; -Organization’s annual tax period; -Verify that your organization’s annual gross receipts are still normally $25,000 or less, and –Indicate if your organization has terminated (is no longer in business). Answers to most of the questions that you may have as well as forms and e-filing can be found at www.irs.gov/eo. You can also subscribe to an EO Newsletter at www.irs.gov/eo and click on “EO Newsletter.”

Dues:

Dues normally are for one year of membership, July 1 through June 30^th.

Maryland AAUW members pay dues at three levels: Association dues, which are sent to the national AAUW organization; State dues, which are sent to the Maryland treasurer; and branch dues. All dues are typically paid in a single payment, collected by the branch.

Each branch treasurer should receive a Branch Dues Report via email from the Association, if this report is not received please contact the Association and request that the report be provided.  The treasurer’s responsibility is to update this report annotating which members are renewing and the amount paid for each member.  Note although Honorary Life Members pay no dues please indicate if they are renewing. 

The report and dues are then mailed to both the Association and Maryland Treasurer.  The initial submission is requested by July 1^st but can be mailed at a later date if necessary.

Association report and dues are mailed to:

Dues Notes:

• The National Association has approved a $2 per year dues increase in the Association dues every year until the 2009 convention.
• Branches assess their own dues in addition to those of AAUW Maryland and Association. The branch dues bill for a member should include all three parts. Branch dues fees and policies are set by the individual branches, and are not uniform. Some branches may waive branch dues in some categories.
• Association Members-at-Large do not pay branch or state dues since they are not affiliated locally, nor do they receive publications other than the Association every-member publication, AAUW Outlook.
• National Life Members do not pay Association dues. To become a Life Member you pay the one-time life membership dues, the Association fee times 20, (ex. for 2007, pay $47 x 20 = $940).  These members however still pay state and branch dues.
• Honorary Life Members, are those members who have been Association members for over 50 years, they pay no Association dues, state or branch dues.
• Between Jan 1 – March 15 new members pay half rates.
• Between March 16 – Jun 30 pay normal dues but are paid up through June 30 of the following year.
