You may request a disbursement from your ATF account by submitting an expense reimbursement form with corresponding receipts. Per diem requests do not require receipts to be submitted but are to be shown by noting the actual days for which funds are being requested. Per diem can only be requested for days on which you were not enrolled in a USBSF-funded program. Expenses must be incurred before requesting and receiving reimbursement. Please see the list of quaifying expenses below. No advances will be granted from your ATF account.
Reimbursement forms and receipts should be emailed to USBSF Director of Finance & Operations, Lisa Carlock, at lcarlock@usbsf.com or faxed to 719-218-3211. They can also be mailed to:
US Bobsled & Skeleton Federation
1631 Mesa Avenue
Copper Building, Suite A
Colorado Springs, CO 80906
You may submit reimbursement requests at any time; however, upon receipt of funds in your ATF account, a minimum of two weeks will be required before funds may be redistributed to you. This is to allow for administrative processing time and to insure the contributed funds clear the applicable banking institutions.
You may not utilize funds in your ATF account to provide direct payment to USBSF for any outstanding balances owed.
If you access $600 or more of donated funds from your ATF account during any calendar year, the USBSF will issue you a 1099-Misc form by January 31 of the following year, meaning your income for the previous calendar year will be reported to the IRS. It will be your responsibility to report this income on your annual tax return. The USBSF does not offer tax advice and you should consult a tax advisor.
