Frequently asked questions
What happens if we don't file a Form 990?
The IRS automatically revokes tax-exempt status when an organization fails to file for three consecutive years. Staying on schedule protects your status.
Do Minnesota nonprofits have to file anything every year?
Yes. Minnesota nonprofit corporations file an annual renewal with the Secretary of State, and many charities must also file an annual report with the Attorney General's Office. We help you confirm which apply to you.
Which policies should every nonprofit have?
Most nonprofits benefit from conflict of interest, whistleblower, and document retention policies at a minimum. The IRS Form 990 asks whether you have them.
