IRS Issues - New Filing Requirements for PTAs:
Important Message for local PTA leaders:
The change in the law requires that one of the 990 forms be filed every year by our local PTAs. They must file form
990 EZ if gross revenues are more than $25,000.00. If a PTA fails to file a 990 form for three consecutive years, the
IRS is required to revoke that PTA's tax-exempt status.
The new change is effective as of December 2006. Ignorance of the law will NOT excuse the PTA from penalties
for failure to comply.
Please contact RI PTA President, Stephen Furtado, with any questions at saf1017@aol.com.
Welcome to our newest Local PTA Units!

The mission of the PTA is threefold:
-
To support and speak on behalf of
children and youth in the schools, in the community, and before government
bodies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children;
-
To assist parents in developing the
skills they need to raise and protect their children;
-
To encourage parent and public
involvement in the public schools of this nation.
Rhode Island PTA was chartered by the
National PTA in 1909 and together with its Councils and local units, works to
support the PTA mission in Rhode Island.
