School: Southern New Hampshire University - Course: ACC 325 - Subject: Accounting

Lewiston-Auburn Roller Derby, or LARD, will be formed in the State of Maine. In order to maintain compliance, Maine requires that the NFP files the Annual Return Form 990 to the IRS. The Maine Secretary of State requires that Form MNPCA-13, or the Annual Report, is filed between January 1 and June 1 of each year. This is accompanied by a $35 filing fee. Maine also requires that the organization submit the Charitable Organization Registration form, annually by November 30th, to the Maine Office of Professional & Occupational Regulation. This is accompanied by a $25 filing fee (Hurwit & Associates n.d.). The federal tax reporting and legal filing requirement is fulfilled with Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990-PF. This can be submitted on the IRS website (IRS n.d.). In addition to this, the organization is required to fulfill applicable state requirements in order to maintain their federal nonprofit status.
