November 15 IRS Filing Deadline for 2025-2026 Club Year
All Soroptimist clubs holding any 501(c)(3) federal tax status are required to file annually with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) a version of Form 990 no later than the 15th day of the fifth month following the conclusion of the club’s tax/fiscal year. For clubs, the annual deadline is November 15.
All versions of the Form 990 must be filed electronically. The version of the 990 form filed is based on the financial activity of your club.
Clubs that have gross annual receipts of $50,000 or less usually may file their annual return by the “e-postcard” system (Form 990-N). PLEASE NOTE: The IRS uses a system that requires strict login practices. Please consult the IRS user guide for information on using this system, and please allow plenty of time to complete your filing. Filing with the “e-postcard” system generates a receipt. Please make sure to print out the receipt as proof of filing.
Clubs above the $50,000 threshold should file the appropriate form with the IRS before the November 15 deadline.
Make sure to print a copy of the confirmation of filing for your club’s records; your club will need to produce this confirmation to SIA Headquarters at a later date. Verification of filing should also be provided to the club’s board of directors. If your club’s 990 is prepared and filed by an outside provider, require the confirmation of filing from the provider for the club’s records.
Please note: Any club that has not filed an annual return for three consecutive years will have its federal tax status revoked by the IRS. This means donors will no longer be able to receive charitable deductions for their donations, and the club will be liable for federal income taxes. Clubs are urged to avoid any lapse in status by filing annually as required. In addition, Soroptimist clubs that lose their status with the IRS may forfeit their club’s charter in accordance with SIA Procedure B. Procedures Governing Clubs #5.
