Going into the Summer with H1N1: Information for Camp Professionals

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would like to provide H1N1 flu guidance to organizations that may host summer camps. Note the following important links to more information:

As the summer camp season arrives, H1N1 influenza continues to pass from person-to-person. Camp professionals are attempting to articulate a balanced response to this ever-changing disease profile, a response that acknowledges the risk profile of H1N1 with the benefits of camp for millions of children and the staff who work with them. Some of us must now make decisions for our camp season and/or refine those that have already been made. This information is provided to help that balancing process. Read more about this.

IRS Reminds Small Tax-Exempt Organizations to File e-Postcards

The Internal Revenue Service reminds many small tax-exempt organizations to file their annual electronic informational return with the IRS.

This is the second year of the new requirement for tax-exempt organizations whose gross annual receipts are normally $25,000 or less to file Form 990-N also known as e-Postcards. The process is fast and easy.

Nonprofits must file five months after their budget year ends. For those nonprofit organizations whose budgets end in June, the deadline for filing is by November 15, and for nonprofits whose budgets end in December, the filing deadline is in the Spring. Organizations whose tax year is different from the calendar year must file the e-Postcard by the 15th day of the 5th month after the close of their tax year.

The e-Postcard is a simple, Internet-based form that asks a few identifying questions about the organization. The e-Postcard must be filed online; there is no paper option.

More information and a link to the e-Postcard can be found www.irs.gov.
