—501st Legion | Golden Gate Garrison | Tax Status—

I have been asked about the tax status of the club a number of times recently. I thought it would be best to share the information that has been available to me more broadly with Garrison Membership.

—

Currently, the IRS defines / classifies the The 501st Legion / Golden Gate Garrison as a Social Club | IRC § 501(c)(7) …NOT… A Tax Exempt Corporation (Nonprofit Organization) | IRC § 503(c)(3).

Why is this important?

Members of the club bear individual / personal legal liability for their actions. The club does bear a social responsibility / liability for the actions of the club and its’ members.
The club is NOT a legal entity.

Could this possibly change? Yes, due to the size and visibility of the club Nationwide / Internationally.

If the classification did change we would more likely see membership fees to be part of the club.

Why? Costs associated with the club operations inclusive of tax filing and other associated fees.

This is not a prediction that a tax status change will occur whatsoever. Simply sharing of information as I know it as of this time. If I am informed otherwise now or in the future I will be sure to provide an update.

I hope this helps.
