Local Unit Tax Return:
Your local unit must file a tax return with the IRS every year. Due date for filing is the 15th of the fifth month after the close of your tax period. For most PTAs, this is November 15th (since the fiscal year for most PTAs is July 1-June 30).  The type of tax return your local unit must file is determined by your annual gross receipts.

  • If your annual gross receipts are $50,000 or less, your PTA will file a 990-N, Electronic notice (e-postcard) – found here
  • If your annual gross receipts are over $50,000, your PTA must file a 990-EZ or 990

​Email confirmation of tax filling MUST be forwarded to KCC PTA and TN PTA.


Local Unit Insurance:
Check your local unit records to determine when your local unit insurance needs to be renewed. See below for resources, if needed.

Insurance Resources
KCC PTA, TN PTA, and National PTA recommend that all local units invest in and carry General Liability Insurance. While there are several options, AIM Insurance offers insurance options for PTAs/PTSAs at very affordable prices.
