Plus, Just Added for all Locations:
Sign up your unit for the electronic membership system TOTEM! After several months of testing and incorporating feedback from leaders at all levels of PTA, California State PTA is excited to announce the electronic membership system TOTEM is ready for your PTA – and we can sign up your unit onsite at the Regional Leadership Conferences. Just bring a PTA check and come to the TOTEM table or the electronic membership workshop. Five easy steps to connect to e-membership:
- Invite your leaders—you can request your invitation
- Once on the platform you can invite other leaders
- You can also deactivate any leaders who are not current leaders
- Confirm your PTA/PTSA information specifically your Dues amount (pre-filled information is from California State PTA records, but should be confirmed by local leaders)
- Connect your bank account
- Authenticate the bank account (If the treasurer signed your PTA up then the President authenticates, if the President signed up then the Treasurer authenticates — or other two officers)
- Personalize your site.
Need a little TLC when it comes to tax filing for your PTA? We are here to help! Simply bring a completed copy of the Unit Needs Form along with payment and we’ll do the tax filing for you onsite at all Regional Leadership Conferences. We’ll be able to assist with the following:
- Attorney General CT-1 Charitable Trust Registration
- Attorney General RRF-1 Registration/Renewal Report
- IRS 990 N
- Franchise Tax Board 199N
- Plus, guidance and answers to your questions about tax filing required for all PTAs.
You do not need to be registered for the Regional Leadership Conference in order to take advantage of this service – come by the Tax Filing Support Center for free and we’ll file your returns for you! (Although registration to the Regional Leadership Conference is only $25 and includes free breakfast from McDonald’s, free lunch from Panda Express and access to great PTA leadership trainings.
