What to know
Quick Answer: 501(c)(7) Social Club Records
A 501(c)(7) social club should keep clear records for dues, member activity, nonmember income, expenses, events, and board decisions. Software can help organize those records, but your club should use qualified tax or legal help for exemption and filing decisions.
