Annual Report

Welcome to your guide to completing the annual report. Councils are required to upload all necessary forms to the report. 

DUE DATE: APRIL 1, 2024

IMPORTANT TIPS – READ THROUGH THIS FIRST!

  1. Update your council profile (use the "Council-Club-Info_Worksheet" to prepare, instruction tutorial link below). This is not part of the online report form but a separate step to update your information, and must be done on an annual basis as well as when any council information changes.  
  2. READ THROUGH AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION/CHEAT SHEET DOCUMENTS to prepare!  ALL DOCUMENTS ARE IN THE LINKS BELOW.  Do not try to rush through the report process and have everything prepared before clicking the Online Report Form link.
  3. Get all your documents prepared and saved to your computer so they will be ready to upload where indicated in the online form.  Some people find it helpful to also print them to follow along. 
    About the documents:
    • Review the Instruction document first
    • Review the applicable cheat sheet(s)
    • Make sure you have a reconciled year-end bank statement.
    • The "BoardMbrList_IRS-Report_UploadDoc".  This is a required document that you will upload where indicated in the online report form (this is NOT the same as updating your FFI profile).  
    • "Council-Club-Info_Worksheet"; OPTIONAL.  You may use this worksheet to prepare to update your FFI member account profile (this is to keep your information up to date in our member system). You need to login as the Council to make these updates.
  4. There is a single link to the ONLINE REPORT FORM that will guide you through the necessary steps to complete the annual report. 
  5. Please do not go to the link until you are ready.  There is no time limit to complete the online form, but once you start, you need to complete it through the final "Submit" button. If you exit, you will not be able to go back to it later and you will have to resubmit everything again.  You can use the previous page and next page buttons without losing info.
  6. At the end, you must click the "Submit" button to complete the report, (you will follow the "Report Completion Instructions" provided).
