Last Day of 4-H Faculty Meeting - Tax

Tax News:

• All documents related to tax exempt status of 4-H and the guidelines for filing taxes for clubs are online under the Agent only section of the Texas 4-H Website
• EIN numbers are giving clubs problems:
• The online site for requesting EIN requires a Social Security number.... This is not a good plan
• Clubs must use the paper form to request an EIN and need to leave any blanks requesting SSN incomplete
• Do not use your personal SSN in completing these forms.
• Washington DC has granted an extension for submitting tax filing until May 19, 2009
• The good news is we have more time to get EIN numbers for all our clubs.
• FYI this situation is being created by the IRS..... Not 4-H.
• Take a deep breath .... This may not be fun, but we can do this.
