Tax-Exempt Organizations May Loose Their Exempt Status

From the IRS: Reminder: Tax-Exempt Organizations Can Preserve Exempt Status by Filing Returns by October 15 Due Date

A crucial filing deadline of October 15 is looming for many tax-exempt organizations. Most tax-exempt organizations, other than churches, must file an annual return or electronic notice (Form 990-N) with the IRS. If an organization does not file as required for three consecutive years, the law provides that it automatically loses its tax-exempt status.

Small nonprofit organizations at risk of losing their tax-exempt status because they failed to file required returns for 2007, 2008, and 2009 can preserve their status by filing returns by October 15, 2010 under a one-time relief program. Two types of relief are available for small exempt organizations — a filing extension for the smallest organizations required to file Form 990-N, Electronic Notice (e-Postcard), and a voluntary compliance program (VCP) for small organizations eligible to file Form 990-EZ, Short Form Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax. Find complete information about eligibility and program requirements on IRS.gov.

The IRS has issued a Special Edition Tax Tip and a News Release to help nonprofit organizations take advantage of the one-time relief program and maintain their tax-exempt status. In addition, you can find information you can use to help organizations that may be at risk of losing their tax-exempt status at IRS.gov.

Human Service Nonprofits and Government Collaboration

The Urban Institute Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy and the National Center for Charitable Statistics announces the upcoming release of Human Service Nonprofits and Government Collaboration: Findings from the 2010 National Survey of Nonprofit Government Contracting and Grants on Thursday, October 7, 2010 from 9:00 – 10:30 am at The Urban Institute, 2100 M Street NW, 5th Floor, Katharine Graham Conference Facility, Washington, DC 20037

Please join The Urban Institute for the release of findings from the first national survey documenting the extent of government contracting and grants with human service organizations and problems experienced by nonprofits that contract with governments at the local, state and national levels. There will be discussion of the impact of the recession on these nonprofits and the interaction of contracting problems, such as late payments, and the cutbacks organizations have made to keep their programs operating during the recession.

A panel of experts from the nonprofit and public sectors will talk about the realities on the ground, policy implications and the future of nonprofit-government relations. Additional information and a formal invitation from the Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy will be forthcoming. Please contact Pho Palmer with questions at (202) 261-5397.
