As you may already know, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on February 2nd, so he is predicting 6 more weeks of winter! For most of us up here on the frozen Tundra, this is not news. I have lived in North Dakota since 1995, and I am sure that I have never experienced an early spring.
While we are hibernating and awaiting spring, it is the perfect time to review your unit’s finances. If your unit is no longer tax-exempt under 501(c)(19) for failing to file your annual 990-N with the IRS, you still need to be registered with the North Dakota Secretary of State as you are a non-profit organization operating within the state. I sent out instructions for registering in a unit packet last fall. It is a $40 fee to register with the North Dakota Secretary of State, and an annual report is due February 1st of every year. The annual fee for that report is $10. If you have any questions, the staff there are ready to assist you. You can contact them at (701) 328-2900. You will be registering as a new business.
If you have any questions, please reach out to me. I have been working in accounting for over 40 years and am ready to assist you in complying with state and federal laws. You can reach me on the Department email treasurer@ndala.org or call or text me at (701) 331-9328. I look forward to hearing from you and getting everyone in compliance.
