IRS Urges Nonprofits to Continue to File e-Postcards

Beginning in 2010, nonprofits that don’t file Form 990, Form 990-EZ, or Form 990-N with the IRS for three consecutive years automatically lose their tax-exempt status. These filings are due 5 ½ months after the end of nonprofits’ fiscal years (for example, May 17, 2010 for nonprofits with fiscal years ending December 31 and November 15, 2010 for those whose fiscal years end June 30). The IRS Commissioner issued a statement this week encouraging small nonprofits that missed the May 17 deadline to still file a Form 990-N (e-Postcard) as soon as possible. The IRS will try to work with nonprofits that file their e-Postcards late.
