Re: Status of Form 990N (E-Card) for Affiliates, Regions & Sections

[Jill Bonino <aistreas@earthlink.net>]

Hi Judy,

All of the filings I have done have been for Dec 31 year end.  The IRS has the year end set up in their database, and it takes a letter made out to the IRS requesting a year end change and about 6 weeks if you want to change it.  I ran into this with several clubs and just filed for them as Dec 31 year ends.  That way it is done.  

Spring has finally slowed down and I am trying to catch up with everything and everyone.  

Take care,
Jill

For those groups who have a Dec 31 year end, I have filed for over 90% of you, and you have received an email confirmation from me with the attached IRS confirmation.

>The IRS has been swamped with questions about this new system and they have a notice on their website that there is no penalty for late filing, so if you are a Dec 31 organization and have not sent me your information, don't worry. BUT I do need it as soon as possible so I can add your organization to my database and make sure that your organization does file. FAILURE TO FILE CAN RESULT IN THE LOSS OF YOUR ORGANIZATION'S TAX EXEMPT STATUS.

This only happens if you have never sent me an email before.
