Default successful disaffiliation

We have successfully disaffiliated from the PTA and have received 501c3 status for our new PTO. We have also received a new charitable registration number from the Dept. of Consumer Affairs. Do I need to disaffiliate from the IRS, Dept. of Consumer Affairs, and the state government? Or is this done automatically through the national PTA once you disaffiliate from them? Our disaffiliation from the PTA was done verbally by the county president and local president. Each refused to send us a written confirmation. This is why I want to disaffiliate from the IRS, etc. I don't want any repercussions.

Hi madcnco --

Department of consumer affairs and state government are state-specific rules, so I'll defer on those two, but I suspect they follow IRS.

For IRS, no you don't have to make any formal announcement to IRS about your PTA being done. Your 501c3 status with IRS was through the state PTA, so that organizations reports its groups to IRS. So their report this year just won't include your old PTA.

Sounds like you've done everything well. Good luck!

Tim
