BCHW Tax Filing Procedures

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization BCHW is required to file a Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax every year.  All the BCHW Chapters are included under the BCHW 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and must follow all the requirements to maintain the tax exempt status.   Individual chapters do not file a Form 990 however they are required to complete and transfer a Chart of Accounts spreadsheet to the BCHW treasurer on or before January 20th of each year.  The BCHW treasurer checks and compiles the information from the chapters and then working with the BCHW accountant a Form 990 is prepared.   After the accountant completes the Form 990 it is reviewed by the BCHW Board of Directors before being submitted to the IRS.
