Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is episode 122 of EO Radio Show. This episode on federal tax filing deadlines and penalties was first released in May of 2023. It focuses on the importance of meeting the federal tax filing deadlines that apply to charitable organizations. Most charities exempt from income tax are required to file a federal information return on the 15th day of the fifth month after the close of their fiscal year. For nonprofits that use the calendar year for accounting purposes, that's May 15th. If you haven't filed yet, don't despair. You've got a little bit of time. In this episode, I'll also touch on the penalties that can apply if your organization fails to meet these filing requirement deadlines. So listen in for more information about this important topic. Show Notes: Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax Form 990-EZ, Short Form Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax See Filing Phase-In for more information about which return to file Form 990-N (e-Postcard), Annual Electronic Filing Requirement for Small Exempt Organizations Form 8868 Tax Relief in Disaster Situations Disaster Assistance and Emergency Relief for Individuals and Businesses Revenue Procedure 2014-11 explains the four procedures an organization may use to apply for reinstatement If you have suggestions for topics you would like us to discuss, please email us at eoradioshow@fbm.com.
