By now you have
received your annual dues
statement from the Division,
please use the enclosed window
envelope to send your dues to
your camp Adjutant.
SCV national dues are $30. The basic cost for new members and reinstating delinquent members is $35 which is the dues amount plus a processing fee. By reducing some costs and utilizing a new source of income, the Executive Council has been able to "hold the line" on Division Dues and presently sees no increase from the $10.00 Division Dues in the foreseeable future. A $2.50 processing must be added for members paying after Oct 31 or for reinstating delinquent Division Members. Like National dues, Division dues can be prorated in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. For full explanation and amounts see ByLaws Article 5 Section 5 National Life Memberships are $750 through age 64, $375 for age 65 through 79, and $187.50 for age 80 and up. Mississippi Division Life Memberships are $250 through age 64, $125 for age 65 through 79, and $62.50 for age 80 and up. The application form may be obtained on the this website: http://www.mississippiscv.org/membership.html#Life_Memberships & http://www.mississippiscv.org/ByLaws.html#ARTICLE_4 § 4 C & 4D |
SCV Camps and Divisions with gross receipts less than $50,000 a year are not required to file an IRS Form 990 tax return; however,
ALL camps are
required to submit an annual electronic notice by December
15 (Four and one half months following the end
of our fiscal year on July 31). The Bad News Shown below are some simple instructions to assist you in the task of completing the IRS E Postcard: 1. Obtain your camp's tax ID number and copy it into your computer memory or have it written down and readily available. GHQ or the Mississippi Division Adjutant can provide this number to you if needed. 2. Go to this site: http://epostcard.form990.org/ If you have registered in a prior year skip to step 3. If you have not previously registered you must register first. Once you have completed the registration process, you will receive an email containing an activation link. Click on the link to activate (and use) your login ID. The e-Postcard website will not recognize your login ID until you activate it through the email link. This link will you log back on line to actually complete the E postcard. 3. If you have registered in a previous year you may log in using your login ID and password to complete the E postcard. 4. Take your time and carefully enter the numbers. The entire process should not last more than about 5 to 10 minutes. 5. Once
the
IRS processes your e-Postcard,
they will send you an efiling
receipt via email telling you
whether the e-Postcard was
accepted or rejected. If rejected,
the email will tell you why it was
rejected and how to correct the
problem.
Note: This system automatically generates the 990-N (e-Postcard) for your camp’s most recently ended tax period (August 01, 2010 through July 31, 2011) and will not allow the filing of a prior year e-Postcard. If you have not previously filed or if you missed a prior year, a prior year e-Postcard may be filed for a fee through IRS approved online providers. Click here for a list of IRS approved providers.
