A sports teams community is a type of organization that is considered a non-profit and thus fall under tax-exempt status with the IRS. Does this type of organization also need an employer identification number, though? The answer is a resounding yes.
Having an employer identification number as a sports teams community organization is important and also a requirement. The Tax ID (EIN) number will allow the sports teams community organization to function, file tax returns properly, process payroll when it hires employees, and so on.
