MJean--I could be wrong, but I do not believe that there is any requirement to do it more frequently than with the annual filing. When you file your tax return, you list all the officers/contact people on there, and they'll pick up any changes at that time.

If every organization that filed a return with the IRS had to contact the IRS and give them new information every time they changed officers, they'd have to have a separate building with a bunch of people dedicated just to that! If it makes someone feel more comfortable, or if ther's concern that info would be going to the wrong place, you certainly could do it, but otherwise I think it's one of those things that you can unneccesarily tie yourself up in knots over.

You do need to change the name on the EIN. Call the IRS and they will give you a fax number and/or a mailing address to list the new officers. It must be updated everytime the officers change.
As outgoing President, I made sure I got my name of all tax info. It just makes sense not to have my name attached to something I no longer am in control of.

hi mommy,
i agree with mum24; as long as it is in the pto's name, just leave it.
Thanks

Hi mommy,
Is the organization's EIN listed under the past president's name or is it just listed to her as the groups agent?

Mum24kids, thank you for your reply.
I am going to take your advice and not change it since the address is the schools.
This is all new to me, seeing as I haven't been an officer before. All I did the past 2 yrs was Head Homeroom parent over all the homeroom parents. Just made sure that we had all the help we needed for parties etc.
Thanks Again
