The Swim Teams conducts its activities on the Ramstein Air Base under the supervision of the 86 Forward Support Squadron. Our all volunteer, all military dependent/family, board did not understand the requirements for filing for 990-EZ annually and did not understand the requirement to apply for tax exempt status within 27 months of requesting its EIN. Since AUG 2022, the swim team has operated in good faith. Each year, the board membership changes because families received military orders for a permanent change of station. This high turnover and inexperience led to the delay in filing FY22 form 990-EZ. In April 2025, the new board requested the organizations exempt status paperwork only to learn the previous boards had not filed for exempt status. We spent 3 months searching for a CPA at our overseas location and were unsuccessful. We filed our request for exempt status on 17 JUL 25 with a request for retroactive status to AUG 2022 when our EIN was issued. We appreciate your understanding as we bring the organization into compliance. The phone numbers in the tax software program do not support overseas phone numbers. The treasurer can be reached at +49 1515-349-8197 or kingfishtreasurer@gmail.com. Part I 1 We did not file schedule B because we recieved 2x Grants - one from the Ramstein Officer's Spouses Club for $4,000 and one from the Kaiserslautern Enlisted Spouses Association for $3,400. According to the tax software we could only report grants of $5,000 or more.
