CSUSOP Might Fail To Report It To IRS-!!!
“Trump signs S. 2330 into law, so now what happens?” highlighted The Sports Examiners on November 1, 2020.
On October 30, 2020, President Donald Trump signed the Empowering Olympic, Paralympic and Amateur Athletes Act (S. 2330) (EOPAAA) into law.
The Sports Examiners questioned:
The bill modifies the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act (36 U.S.C. 2205 et seq.), but what exactly does it do?
And how much has already been done by the various by-law changes undertaken by the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC)?
Since the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act makes no provision for the Deaflympics, I, as a former USO(P)C at-large member of the USO(P)C Handicapped in Sports Committee (1979-81), am campaigning for the inclusion of the Deaflympics in the USOPC program.
Section 11 of the EOPAAA created a 16-member congressional commission called the “Commission on the State of the U.S. Olympics and Paralympics (CSUSOP).” The Commission has studied matters relating to the state of United States participation in the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Click on the list of ten areas of study.
NOTE: Requesting the inclusion mentioned above falls under the seventh area: an analysis of the participation in amateur athletics of disabled individuals.
On September 6, 2023, the CSUSOP had a public hearing in Washington, DC, which I attended.
The CSUSOP completed its work on September 30 and will deliver a report to Congress in Spring 2024.
Suddenly, on Monday, October 9, 2023, I requested the CSUSOP at the last minute to review the error (or typo error) made by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which I discovered on Friday, October 6, 2023.
Read my Oct. 9 issue, “CSUSOP Should Review IRS's Error-!”
Below is what I discovered so you can see “USOC” instead of “USOPC.”
Almost three months later, on January 1, I clicked the 2023 Schedule 1 (Form 1040) and scrolled down to “m.” The result was that the name of USOC remains!
Go ahead to click the 2023 Schedule 1 and see what you see!
Clearly, the CSUSOP and the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation might not take my last-minute request. Therefore, they had no action in reporting to the IRS.
[OR, the Commission might get my request, but it was too late to tell the IRS because the IRS released the 115-page draft of all IRS forms on November 2, 2023. Line 8(m) is found on page 88.]
The Sports Examiners Editor Rich Perelman concluded:
The future success or failure of this [S. 2330] bill will come from the work of the new Commission and then how much interest the Congress has in following up on its own, new oversight responsibilities. If it does maintain sharp interest in the USOPC and its related organizations, S. 2330 could be a great success. But it would be ironic indeed if a bill designed to better the U.S. Olympic Movement ends up getting the United States suspended from participation in a future Olympic Games.
