Waterford Association of School Administrators

Form 990-EZ, Header, Line B

“I am the new Treasure for a small school administrator association in the Waterford School district located in Waterford Michigan. Our association collects a yearly membership dues that are housed in a local credit union. In order to get a bank account I had to get a employer identification number to deposit the money into the account, our balance is 4,253.76. The association consists of 40 members. Dues are used for improvements of our group that could consists of professional development opportunities, membership celebrations and memorials. Originally I was given the directions to fill out the paper copy of the 990-EZ form which was received and dated March 12, 2024. However because I am brand new to this position and not an accountant I was unaware that it was to be filed electronically and I received a note from the IRS that it was filed incorrectly and needed to be filed again. I know that not understanding the law doesn't exempt from charges but I really had know idea that a little group that was just collecting membership dues had to go through so much to just get a bank account. I was really trying to follow the rules.”
