Social Club Filing Calendar

Build a planning calendar from your fiscal year, payroll needs, and state-review schedule, then export the reminders to your calendar.

State requirements review

This calendar does not calculate state due dates. Confirm registrations, reports, sales tax, and other state obligations on that state's own calendar.

Year-end records review

Reconcile dues, event income, reimbursements, vendors, and board reports.

Fiscal year ends

Close the year and preserve supporting records.

Federal annual return target

The 15th day of the fifth month after year-end, moved to Monday when that date falls on a weekend. A federal holiday can move it one more business day. Confirm which return you file.

Extended-return target

Six months after the original 15th, weekend-adjusted. Use it only if Form 8868 is filed by the original due date.

A practical review rhythm for social clubs

Use this as a recordkeeping rhythm, then confirm actual filing deadlines with your advisor.

Start of year

Confirm who owns dues records, event records, reimbursements, payroll questions, and advisor communication before activity picks up.

Monthly review

Reconcile bank activity, review dues, label guest or public income, attach receipts, and note any board approvals tied to money movement.

Before year-end

Run a nonmember income review while event details are still fresh. Flag investment income, public facility use, sponsorships, and guest charges.

Before filing

Prepare annual return records, possible 990-T questions, payroll details, board rosters, reports, and documents your advisor requests.

Records to prepare before advisor review

A clean packet saves time because the advisor can review facts instead of reconstructing them.

Dues, assessments, initiation fees, member event charges, and renewal records.

Guest, public, sponsorship, merchandise, rental, and investment income details.

Event logs with member and nonmember counts, charges, payments, and notes.

Expense categories, reimbursements, receipts, vendor records, and approvals.

Board reports, meeting notes, officer lists, policies, and governing documents.

Payroll, contractor, and employment tax questions if the club pays workers.
