Do booster clubs have to file taxes? In most cases, YES! Booster clubs are typically organized as nonprofit entities supporting school athletics, music programs, or extracurricular activities, and many operate under a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Even though they may not owe income tax, the IRS still requires annual information returns to maintain compliance.
Most small booster clubs with gross receipts under $50,000 typically file Form 990-N (e-Postcard), while larger organizations may need to file Form 990-EZ or Form 990 depending on revenue and asset thresholds.
