Whether your club is a subordinate under Rotary International’s 501(c)(4) group exemption or is independently tax-exempt, the IRS requires that all Rotary clubs in the U.S. and its territories file an annual information return. For clubs whose tax year follows the Rotary year, the deadline to file is 15 November. The form a club must file is dependent upon its gross receipts for the year.

 

Most clubs are eligible to file a 990, which is a simple post card submitted to the IRS for entities who take in less than $50K. 
If you have more than $50K in income, it is the 990EZ
