The IRS Revenue Rule 70-604 Ballot Measure passed with 1,313 in favor and 74 against. IRS Revenue Tax Ruling 70-604 allows associations to avoid a tax consequence on any inadvertent excess member income that is applied to the following fiscal year assessment when filing a tax return Federal Form 1120. Though the POA recognizes three options for the application of excess income, ((1) refund to the membership, (2) apply to the following year’s assessments/operational budget, or (3) apply to the reserves), this ballot measure only pertains to the option of applying excess income to the following year’s assessment.
The five directors of the board are collectively responsible for the management and operation of the POA’s business affairs. Directors are elected for staggered two-year terms by Canyon Lake homeowners. The board works closely with the POA’s Corporate Department to ensure that POA duties and responsibilities are being carried out. The board can be emailed at [email protected].
