IRS Audit Help
Document
By Robert Ferone Sr. PER, State
Government Relations Chairman
|
Here is a copy of the information that was
presented to the State Chairman at the Grand Lodge Government
Relations Seminar in Oklahoma City. This information is very
valuable for every Elk lodge in the country, and I urge every Lodge
in Connecticut to download this information and become familiar with
it, or discuss it with their accountants.
All lodges are with in the realm of possibility
of having an IRS audit conducted on them, and we should all have a
heads up on what the IRS is looking for.

Important
'Sign In Book' Update
By Robert Ferone Sr. PER, State
Government Relations Chairman
|
There has been
some confusion around the state over guest book sign in
requirements. Here I have listed the Connecticut
General Statute number, title of the statute, and what it
means to your Lodge.
30-23a : Guest Book requirements Under Club Permits
-
Non member guests visiting a lodge
must be
signed in as guests.
-
Members of a lodge, visiting another lodge
are
required to sign in as guests.
30-24 :
Spouses of Club Members
-
Spouses
of a lodge member shall not be considered
guests and are not required to sign the guest
book. (The statute mentions "privileges" of said
club, but for our purposes, privileges mean use of
the clubroom.)
30-24b :
Auxiliary Club Members
-
Auxiliary
Club members, who are spouses of members, or
surviving spouses of deceased members, shall not
be considered guests, and are not required to
sign the guest book. (This is for Emblem Clubs and
Does Clubs.)
Number of
Guest Books Within A lodge:
I hope this
information has provided some clarification. If you
have any questions please feel free to contact me and my
information is in the state directory.
