501(c)(3) Status

State and local MTNA affiliates may apply for 501(c)(3) status through MTNA’s group exemption process. Among the advantages of 501(c)(3) status, affiliates can accept charitable contributions that will be tax deductible to the contributor and claim exemption from state sales tax.

e-Postcard

Beginning in 2008, small tax-exempt organizations that previously were not required to file returns may be required to file an annual electronic notice.

New Tax Requirements

This year, for the first time, organizations that have failed to file an annual 990-series return or ePostcard notice for three consecutive years will automatically lose their tax-exempt status. This includes MTNA and our subordinate organizations of the group.
