The PENSION PROTECTION ACT of 2006 requires all tax-exempt organizations, other than houses of worship or related organizations, to file an annual Form 990 with the IRS. This acts as a confirmation to the IRS that the non-profit still exists. Organizations that have not filed the required information returns by October 15, 2010 or that fail to file their annual return for three consecutive years will have their tax exempt status revoked. Revocation of exempt status will require that organizations reapply with the IRS and any income received in the interim may be taxable. For more information click here and go to: www.irs.gov
