Risk Management Fee and IRS 990 Form-Due October 15th

Risk Management Fees Due October 15, 2019

If you were not able to take advantage of the Early Bird Rebate by paying your fees by October 1, your Risk Management Fees are due in full by October 15. Alternatively, a chapter may choose to only pay 50% on October 15 and the remaining payment due on March 15. Additional Fee information can be found at TKE.org/Finance.

If your payment is not received on time, your insurance coverage will be canceled and you will be charged an Insurance Reinstatement Charge of $250. Failure to pay your Risk Management Fee will result in coverage cancellation and may result in your chapter's loss of recognition with Tau Kappa Epsilon. To view and pay the Risk Management Fees invoice, please log in to the TKE Chapter Module at https://module.tke.org.

990-N Tax Forms Due October 15, 2019

October 15 is the final day to file your 990-N tax form. To avoid the risk of losing your chapter or colony's status as a tax-exempt organization, you must file your taxes by the deadline.

Save yourself a lot of hassle and do not miss this deadline. The process to reinstate your status is listed below.

What do I do if my group has lost its tax status?
If your group has lost its tax status, you will need to file IRS 1024 to be reinstated as a 501(c)7. You can find form 1024 on the IRS website. There is a one-time fee of $850.00, due to the IRS in order to process your paperwork. More information about the revocation and reinstatement can be found here.
