Form 990-N/EZ: IRS Announces 90 Day Amnesty for Charities
The IRS has just announced a one-time special filing relief opportunity for small tax-exempt organizations that have failed to file an IRS Form 990-N (e-Postcard) for three consecutive years. A Form 990-N is required of all tax exempt organizations with annual gross receipts that are normally $25,000 or less. Organizations that fail to file a Form 990-N (or, alternatively, a Form 990/990-EZ) for three consecutive years automatically lose their tax-exempt status. Small nonprofit organizations that have not yet filed a Form 990-N will need to do so by October 15, 2010 to retain their tax-exempt status. There is no fee to file a Form 990-N.
The IRS has also established a one-time voluntary compliance program for larger nonprofit organizations that have failed to file an IRS Form 990-EZ in any of the last three years. Organizations that did not file a Form 990-EZ for 2007, 2008 and/or 2009, but were eligible to do so in all three years, may avoid paying taxes, penalties and interest by filing their delinquent Form 990-EZ(s) by October 15 and paying a compliance fee.
What happens if my organization loses its tax-exempt status?
If your organization's tax-exempt status is revoked, it will not be eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions and will be required to pay any applicable income taxes. An organization that loses its exemption will have to reapply with the IRS and pay the appropriate application fee (currently $850) to reinstate its tax-exempt status. However, any income received between the revocation date and reinstated exemption may be taxable. Additionally, an organization that loses its federal tax-exempt status may lose its California tax-exemption and, thus, be subject to state income tax and a minimum franchise tax of $800.
How do I find out if my organization is in danger of losing its exemption?
The IRS has published the names and addresses of those organizations that are at risk of losing exemption for failure to file returns for the past three consecutive years. All organization managers should take a look at this list and confirm that their organizations are not listed.
