Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need to file anything with the IRS every year?
Most small tax-exempt booster clubs and PTOs file the IRS Form 990-N (e-Postcard) once a year. As a framework, the 990-N is due by the 15th day of the 5th month after your fiscal year end, and the e-Postcard is generally for organizations whose gross receipts are normally at or under the current IRS threshold. Larger organizations file the 990-EZ or full 990 instead. Thresholds and rules change, so confirm what applies to your organization at irs.gov before you file.
What happens if we missed three years of filings?
If an organization does not file its required 990-series return for three consecutive years, the IRS automatically revokes its tax-exempt status. That is common with volunteer-run clubs where the books change hands. The IRS has reinstatement paths, and some are streamlined for smaller organizations that qualify. Our Treasurer Kit includes a plain-language walkthrough of what auto-revocation means and where to start, but we do not file for you and cannot promise an outcome. Confirm the current reinstatement process with the IRS.
Do we need a license to run a raffle or a 50-50?
Often, yes. Raffles and 50-50 drawings are regulated state by state, and many states require a charitable-gaming license or registration before you sell a single ticket. Some tie it to your charity registration, others run it through a separate gaming authority. We do not publish state-specific legal claims. Our kit gives you a starting point and names the type of office to contact so you can confirm your state's rules before you sell tickets.
Can our booster club pay coaches or stipends?
This is more complicated than it looks, and we do not give you a yes-or-no. Paying coaches or staff can raise worker-classification questions, school-district and league rules, and payroll and tax obligations, and getting it wrong can be costly. Treat it as a decision to make with a qualified professional and, where relevant, your school district, and confirm tax treatment with the IRS.
Who should be allowed to sign checks?
As a controls framework, most clubs are safer requiring two signers on checks over a set amount and separating duties so the person who writes checks is not the only person who reconciles the bank statement. Our cash-handling template lays out a two-count rule, deposit timing, and reimbursement-with-receipts practices. These are organizational best practices you adopt, not a legal requirement we impose.
Do you file our 990-N for us?
No. BoosterLedger is a self-help publisher, not a filing service. We give you an organized calendar, plain-language explanations, and templates so you can file directly with the IRS and run your books yourself.
Is this tax or legal advice?
No. BoosterLedger is an independent information publisher. We are not accountants, tax advisors, or a law firm, and nothing here is tax or legal advice. IRS rules and state raffle and charity registration requirements change and vary; always confirm current requirements with the IRS, your state's charity office, and a qualified professional for your organization's specific situation.
