990 and Exempt Status

Though this announcement is not directly technology related, we offer it as a service to our nonprofit partners. (Credit to The Nonprofit Center in Tacoma for a snappy recap of the issue.)

The IRS has released the list of those nonprofit groups that face losing their exempt status because they failed to file their returns for three consecutive years. Organizations who have failed to file for the last three years and were supposed to back in May (which includes groups whose fiscal year ends on December 31) have until October 15 to file, so if you are on this list be sure to get in compliance. 

Some facts about the Washington nonprofits on the list:

There are 8,128 nonprofits in the state that are at risk of losing their exempt status

• 1652  of those organizations are in Seattle
• 427 are in Tacoma
• 198 are in Olympia
• 398 are in Spokane
