On April 22, the New York Times reported that up to "one-fourth of nonprofits are to lose tax breaks" this year. They estimate that "as of midnight on May 15, an estimated one-fifth to one quarter of some 1.6 million charities, trade associations and membership groups will lose their tax exemptions."

The Internal Revenue Service recently stated that "Most tax-exempt organizations, other than churches, must file a yearly return or notice with the IRS." They went on to say, "If an organization does not file as required for three consecutive years, the law provides that it automatically loses its tax-exempt status. Loss of exempt status means an organization must file income tax returns and pay income tax, and its contributors will not be able to deduct their donations."

Within the Pension Protection Act of 2006 there is a stipulation that an organization's exempt status will be automatically revoked if it has not filed the appropriate IRS 990 form for three consecutive years. The cut-off date quietly slipped by on December 31. Larger nonprofits have been filing the 990 for over a decade but as of 2008 all nonprofits, regardless of size, must file. Organizations with annual receipts of less than $25,000 may file what is called the 990N (e-Postcard). Click here for further information from the official IRS website.

The deadline for filing is May 15. The ASU Lodestar Center strongly urges your organization to file by that date. The IRS has provided a number of Frequently Asked Questions that can be helpful to you. We also invite you to call the ASU Lodestar Center Professional in Residence, Robert Duea, at 602-496-1050, or e-mail Robert.Duea@asu.edu, for additional assistance regarding your nonprofit's tax-exempt status.
