IS YOUR PTA IN GOOD STANDING...
...with Indiana PTA???
In order to be considered an Indiana PTA Unit in “Good Standing” your unit must submit the following items to the Indiana PTA State Office.
Officer's List
As soon as your board's officers have been voted in, please submit their information to Indiana PTA with the link above. Without your current officer's list we cannot:
BylawsReviewed and Approved every five (5) years. Contact your Field Service Representative to find out when your unit's bylaws are due for renewal. Your FSR will be getting with you soon to make sure you are up to date. If you need a copy of your current bylaws let us know. You should always have a copy of your current bylaws on hand that can be provided to your membership if requested. Membership DuesYour unit should be collecting dues per your bylaws. Your first round of membership dues ($5.25 per member) are due to Indiana PTA by November 15. To stay in good standing you must have at least 20 members for the fiscal year.
Fall Membership Deadline: Must be postmarked and sent to Indiana PTA by November 15.
Spring Membership Deadline: Must be postmarked and sent to Indiana PTA by March 15.
Please download a copy of the membership spreadsheet for your records and edit it from there. A copy of your membership spreadsheet should be included with your remittance form to Indiana PTA. |
TaxesFederal- The IRS Form 990/990-EZ or Form 990-N (e-postcard) is due November 15 to the IRS and Indiana PTA. If your average receipts are more than $50,000 over a 3 year period, your FSR will work with you to file a longer form. Your Field Service Representative (FSR) will file your 990-N with the IRS and Indiana PTA. State- The NP-20 Form is due November 15 to Indiana Department of Revenue with your Officers List and Form 990N/990EZ/990 - Form NP-20. A copy is also due November 15 to Indiana PTA. Your Field Service Representative (FSR) will file your NP-20 Form with Indiana Department of Revenue and Indiana PTA. Financial Review/Report & Audit The fiscal year wraps up on June 30 each year. Once you have your June 30 bank statement and have double checked your books/paperwork, contact your FSR to set up a pickup date. Our goal every year is to complete our reviews no later than early/mid-September. November 15 is the deadline for your FSR to submit this to Indiana PTA, but FWCS requires the same paperwork by September 1. Please note: Between the end of the fiscal year and the time you get your books returned you should not be spending any money. Your Field Service Representative (FSR) will do your audit and financial review. Your financial paperwork should be turned in in July or August for the previous fiscal year. InsuranceAll units must have insurance. FWCS covers our units, but we must have our Parent Organization Forms up to date (see below). Non-FWCS units: Aim Insurance is a good company to get your coverage through. |
