IRS Announces One-Time Filing Relief for Small Exempt Organizations That Failed to File for Three Consecutive Years
Be Sure that Your Filing Status is in Compliance
The IRS is providing one-time relief to allow small tax-exempt organizations to come back into compliance and retain their tax-exempt status even though they failed to file for three consecutive years for 2007, 2008 and 2009. Small nonprofit organizations at risk of losing their tax-exempt status can preserve their status by filing returns by Oct. 15 under the one-time relief program. Two types of relief are available for small exempt organizations - a filing extension for the
smallest organizations required to file Form 990-N, Electronic Notice (e-Postcard) , and a voluntary compliance program (VCP) for small organizations eligible to file Form 990-EZ, Short Form Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax. Small organizations required to file Form 990-N simply need to go to the IRS website, supply the eight information items called for on the form, and electronically file it by Oct. 15. That will bring them back into compliance.
Under the VCP Voluntary Compliance Program, tax-exempt organizations eligible to file Form 990-EZ must file their delinquent annual information returns by Oct. 15 and pay a compliance fee.

Read the full announcement here at CalSouth.com
Cal South is proud and excited to announce its first Adult Premier Soccer League for U20 and U23 men's and women's soccer teams. Each year the need for a league for these adult players grows, and it is expected to continue to grow rapidly as clubs begin to form teams for their youth players who have finished high school and are moving on to college or the work force.
The 2011 Adult Premier Season will begin just after the Adult State/National Cup Competition weekends on May 20-22 and May 28-30. The first week of Premier League play begins on June 1, and then continues through the weekend of July 30, 2011. The final two weekends, July 23-24 and July 30-31 may be reserved for a final playoff format if needed - this is to be determined based on number of teams that enter the league.

In a continued effort to provide a safe and secure environment for soccer throughout all of Cal South, the Cal South Board of Directors, upon feedback from member leagues, has decided to extend the Referee Risk Management Policy to include out-of-state referees officiating league play. The end result of this action is that referees who acquire their USSF certification in another state association, but who also officiate league play week-in and week-out within the boundaries of
Cal South, will have to go through Cal South's required Risk Management process of "Live Scan" fingerprinting.
The initial policy implemented as of June 1, 2010 did not take into account the rise of out-of-state referees officiating multiple weekends of league play. Cal South and their State Referee Committee (SRC) will look to work within their network of referee associations, gaming circuits and certified assignors to adopt compliance of this new policy rollout.
*This policy extension does not impact Cal South-sanctioned tournaments which may bring in out-of-state referees for a lone weekend. Those referees need only to comply with the Risk Management requirements of their home state association.

Please Review All Pending Applications Within Your League
Now that the 2010-2011 fall season has started, registrars should take a look at any pending applications within their league. In CORIS, you can do this by simply pulling up "Pending All Applications" and "Accepted - Yes" on the menu to see players for whom you have been potentially billed but were not assigned to teams.
