Frequently Asked Questions
When is Form 990 due?
Form 990 is due the 15th day of the 5th month after your fiscal year ends — May 15 for calendar-year organizations. A 6-month extension is available via Form 8868.
What happens if my nonprofit misses a filing deadline?
Missing the Form 990 for three consecutive years automatically revokes your federal tax-exempt status. State penalties vary but can include fines and loss of the right to solicit donations.
Do I have to register to solicit donations in my state?
Most states require charitable solicitation registration before you fundraise, but about a dozen states have no requirement. This tool shows your specific state's rules.
Is this legal advice?
No. This calendar is an informational tool based on IRS and state guidelines. Always verify with your state agency or a professional for your specific situation.
