Dear Club President and Treasurer,
It’s time to file your 199N California e-Postcard with the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for the 2023 tax year (January 1 to December 31). As California non-profit entities, clubs (including corporate clubs) are required to file a 199N electronically by May 15, 2023.
If you have any questions about the process, please view the filing instructions.
Before you begin, gather the following information:
Your club’s California Entity Identification number and Federal Employer Identification number (EIN). To find your California ID and Federal EIN, follow these steps:
- Log in to Club Central with your username and password. (For assistance with your username and password, contact the Club and Member Support team.)
- Select your club, and then select Club Demographics.
- Locate your club’s Federal EIN on the left side of the page, next to the charter date. Your club’s State Tax ID should also appear next to the Federal EIN.
Total gross receipts for your club in 2022
- Total gross receipts are the total amounts your club received—including all dues collected and dues remitted to Toastmasters International—from all sources, without subtracting any costs or expenses.
When you are ready to file, visit the 199N California e-Postcard page.
Once you’ve filed your 199N, you will immediately be provided with a confirmation number. Please email 199N@toastmasters.org with this confirmation. This is required because the FTB does not automatically email confirmation to World Headquarters when you submit your 199N. This means the only way for World Headquarters to know you’ve filed is if you submit your confirmation number via email.
If a non-profit entity, such as a Toastmasters club, fails to file a California e-Postcard for three consecutive years, the FTB will automatically revoke its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. If a club’s tax-exempt status is revoked, it will be removed from Toastmasters International’s 501(c)(3) group exemption list and risk suspension by Toastmasters International.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Treasury and Compliance Team
Toastmasters International
