taxes and bank accounts


Recommended Posts

A pack is not a legal entity on its own. It is "owned" by its charter organization. If your charter organization is a church, they are tax exempt and do not have to file a tax return. If your charter organization is a business, then they would have to include your income and expenses in its tax return. In either case, a unit would never file a tax return for themselves.

In the goodold days your local home town banker just opened and account and got an address for mailing the statement.

 

Now you will be asked to supply a SSN or an employer tax Id number. If your CO is a non profit or church you will use their number- ask them for the number (and their permission of course).

 

Taxes, if you were chartered to a business or a for profit organization would be reported through their P&L statement...Cub Packs belong to the C.O. your money is their money (so to speak)

FWIW, NPOs do file a tax return (990), they just don't have to pay taxes. Your Pack is "owned" by your chartered organization and therefore the CO files the return. Your pack should still have its own TIN, but it is associated with the CO, kinda like a subsidiary.

Welcome to the Forum, nbkj651!

 

The Sam Houston Area Council website has some good information for units regarding:

 

(1) how to open a checking account

(2) how to get a federal tax ID number, and

(3) how to request a waiver of Texas state sales taxes

 

The last part may not apply to you if you're not in Texas:

Hope this helps.
