Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The organizations governing documents and tax returns are available for inspection by the general public at the union office in Babylon, NY upon request. Form 990, Part IX, Line 24a - Per Capita Tax Per the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen (BRS) Constitution, Local 56 is required to remit a per capita tax to its affiliated parent and regional bodies based on member count. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Local remitted $518,572 to the BRS Grand Lodge (national parent organization) and $180,032 to BRS General Committee No. 102 (the regional general committee with jurisdiction over Local 56's craft on the Long Island Rail Road). These payments fund the broader BRS union structure that conducts national- and regional-level collective bargaining, contract administration, grievance representation, and legislative/regulatory advocacy on behalf of railroad signal workers. These activities are integral to the Local's exempt purpose of representing its members. Form 990, Part IX, Line 24b - UBR Expense The Union Business Reimbursable (UBR) expense represents amounts billed to Local 56 by the Long Island Rail Road Company (LIRRCO) for the wages and employment taxes of elected Local 56 officers and delegates during periods when they are released from their LIRR duties to conduct authorized union business on behalf of the Local's membership. Under the collective bargaining agreement, the LIRR continues to compensate these individuals as if they were performing railroad duties, and Local 56 reimburses the railroad for the full cost. For the year ended December 31, 2025, UBR expense reported on Line 24b of $116,791 consisted of reimbursed wages of $97,238 and Railroad Retirement Board Tier 1 and Tier 2 payroll taxes of $19,553. The related UBR employer pension contribution of $11,669 (computed at 12% of allowable UBR earnings) is included in Line 8 (Pension plan accruals and contributions). These reimbursements are directly tied to the Local's exempt purpose of representing its members in collective bargaining, grievance processing, contract administration, and related representational activities.
