As tax-exempt entities, the IRS requires all 501(c)7 groups to file a variation of the Form 990. The deadline of these forms is the 15th day of the fifth month after fiscal year end.
Please note that this depends solely on how your individual group operates and maintains its finances. In order to maintain a tax-exempt status, yearly filing of the Form 990 is imperative. Failure to file may result in fines and automatic loss of tax-exempt status by the IRS.
Please note that Fraternal Law (Section 52K and Section 62E) requires that a copy of these forms be sent to the Executive Office of Sigma Pi after filing with the IRS. This is also a step required in the credentialing of your group for the Convocation. Failure to comply may result in the loss of voting rights.
If your filing deadline does not fall within the timeframe of this report, please submit during the next report period.
If you are unsure of which Form 990 your group should file, please see below:
