Nonprofit Compliance, Form 990 & State Registration Watch

Why this is recommended

A 990 deadline that triggers automatic revocation on the third miss, a state registration fee that rose with a renewal date, an enforcement sweep against unregistered charities, a donor privacy law that changes the schedule a nonprofit files, or an audit threshold change that saves $15,000 are each worth the membership many times to a small organization.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

The 1.5 million US nonprofits, most run by volunteers who did not know the state required a registration, and the board members personally liable when it lapses.

When it runs

IRS and state charity regulators publish mid-week and filing deadlines cluster on the 15th

Scope

IRS Form 990, 990-EZ, 990-N and 990-PF deadlines, e-filing, penalties, automatic revocation and reinstatement; state charitable solicitation registration, renewal, fees and exemptions in all states; state attorney general and charity regulator enforcement; donor disclosure, Schedule B and privacy laws; UBIT and excise rules; board, conflict and fiduciary rules; nonprofit overtime, volunteer and intern rules; GoFundMe, Classy, Givebutter, Benevity and DAF rules; Uniform Guidance, single audit and state audit thresholds

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

IRS Form 990 deadline, e-filing and penalty changes, automatic revocation lists and reinstatement rules, state charitable solicitation registration and renewal rule and fee changes, charity regulator enforcement actions and settlements, donor disclosure and privacy law changes, unrelated business income and tax rule changes, board governance and conflict rules by state, nonprofit employment and overtime rule changes, fundraising platform and donor-advised fund rule changes and grant compliance and audit threshold changes, with the agency, state or rule first and the deadline in the title.

Track compliance for US nonprofits. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: IRS Form 990, 990-EZ, 990-N and 990-PF deadline, e-filing, penalty, automatic revocation and reinstatement rule changes; state charitable solicitation registration, renewal, fee and exemption changes by state; state attorney general and charity regulator enforcement actions and settlements with the organizations named; donor disclosure, Schedule B and donor privacy law changes and rulings; unrelated business income and excise tax rule changes; board governance, conflict of interest and fiduciary rule changes by state; nonprofit overtime, volunteer and intern rule changes; fundraising platform and donor-advised fund rule and fee changes at GoFundMe, Classy, Givebutter, Benevity, Fidelity Charitable and Schwab Charitable; and Uniform Guidance, single audit and state audit threshold changes. Prefer the IRS, state attorneys general and secretaries of state, the Federal Register, platform pages, the National Council of Nonprofits and established nonprofit reporting; ignore consultant marketing, and never give individual legal advice. Put the agency, state or rule first in the title with the deadline or fee. Use high severity for a deadline within 30 days, a revocation list release, an enforcement sweep, or an audit threshold change. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
