All PTAs Must File Tax Returns California State PTA is committed to providing information to help make your PTA aware of the latest state and federal requirements. Federal laws and new state laws require nonprofit groups, including PTAs, to file tax returns.

California Attorney General’s Office

 Charitable Trust The Annual Registration Renewal Report (RRF-1) must be filed every year. A fee is required if the Gross Receipts exceed $25,000. If the association answers any of the questions “Yes,” additional information is required. PTA audits done by a volunteer are NOT prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principle  Planning to conduct drawings or charitable gaming activities? If you are planning a raffle (http://oag.ca.gov/charities/raffles) or a gaming activity (http://oag.ca.gov/gambling/forms) you can apply for a raffle or gaming certificate before you advertise the event. Speak with your council or district for undertaking the event(s). An Opportunity Drawing is an activity wherein no one purchases a ticket and everyone is given a chance to win. This is not a raffle and does not require a raffle permit. If everyone who purchases a hot dog has a chance to win, it is a raffle and a permit is required.

The five-minute audit for PTAs

A treasurer’s report includes a lot of meaningful information, but how does the PTA know it’s accurate? The unit needs to assign a non-check signer to review the bank statement each month. The most logical choices are the auditor or a member of the audit committee. Armed with the treasurer’s financial report, minutes and the bank statement the following can be checked: ____________________________________________________________________________ Treasurer’s Report Nov. 1-Nov. 30: Beginning Balance – Nov. 1 $3,500 Income Giftwrap 11/1 $2,400 Memberships 11/14 $ 300 $2,700 Expense CK 100 ABC Co $1,299 CK 102 Alpha PTA Council $ 160 CK 103 Mary Smith $ 250 $300 $2,709 $1759 Ending Cash Balance $3,493 $4441

Bank Statement Bank Stmt Beginning Balance $3,550 Deposits 11/05 $2,400 11/15 $ 300 $2,700 Checks 99 $ 50last treas.rpt

100 $ 1,299 103 $ 300 $1,649 Ending Bank Balance $ 4,601 CK 102 -160 $ 4441

___________________________________________________________________________

Note: If the bank statement does not include copies of checks, the unit has to obtain copies. Most banks have online access. PTAs can have online access to their bank accounts, but they must decline any access to online payment of bills.

Step 1: Look at the checks. Verify o Two signatures on every check o Payee, amount and date match the treasurer’s report o Purpose of payment is included in the check’s note section

Step 2: Look at the deposits. Verify o Date and amount match the treasurer’s report o Deposits have been timely

Step 3: Assure no online payments or withdrawals have been made using a debit/ATM card. Step 4: Reconcile the bank statement to the treasurer’s report.

Make adjustments for checks that have not cleared and deposits not shown. Step 5: Contact the treasurer to determine the source of the error(s). Corrections, if required, are

included in the next treasurer’s report. Report findings to unit president, treasurer and auditor (if reviewer isn’t the auditor). Note: the five-minute audit will NOT reveal that the treasurer allocated $100 collected for Membership Dues to Gift-Wrap Income instead, but it will point out that a $1,000 deposit showing on the treasurer’s report didn’t actually make it to the bank or that a check cashed by the bank didn’t show up on the treasurer’s report. If this happens, ask more questions and investigate further!
