The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is serious about tax-exempt organizations compliance. Organizations that do not file required annual information returns or notices for three consecutive years automatically lose their exempt status by operation of law.
Revocation means all donations will be treated as taxable income and will subject to penalties for filing to file the necessary tax returns, in addition, donor contributions will no longer be tax deductible. In addition, the effect of revocation can have negative affects on entire community!
Here is the latest number of revoked nonprofit and charities by state published in 2021, as of October 2011:
The IRS has extended the filing dates for tax returns and notices due from April 1 through July 14 to July 15, 2020. This extension applies to organizations that failed to file for the two previous years and did not file by July 15. If an organization misses this new deadline, they will automatically lose their tax exempt status.
Some organizations have a Revocation Date between April 1 and July 14, 2020 on the auto-revocation list. However, their Revocation Date is really July 15, 2020.
