May 17th deadline for Form 990 filers

Even if your tax-exempt organization missed the May 17th Form 990 deadline, the IRS encourages organizations to go ahead and file the required form. Because these small tax-exempt organizations are vital to local communities, the IRS is encouraging compliance after the deadline. To help preserve the organization’s tax exemption, the IRS will be providing additional guidance soon. For more information, see the May 19, 2010 communication from Doug Shulman, IRS Commissioner.
