Question: Group 501c3 status

Does anyone have experience with a group 501c3? I'd like to know if all the subordinate members (PTO's of each school in the district) can file the 990-N individually... and does the central organization (District PTO) file a 990-N also?

Hi there. Each independent group with its own EIN and 501(c)(3) designation should file tax statements using the 990 forms you've mentioned.

Hi Rose, each group has an EIN, but does not have independent 501c3 status. We are a group 501c3. We only have 501c3 status because our umbrella organization is a 501c3. Sorry for the confusion. I'm not sure if your answer still applies.
