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
