## What is due, and when

Computed from the fiscal year end and the return type. Federal dates are fixed by law. The state line is the general charitable solicitation rule of Washington, read from the regulator’s own guidance; exemptions vary, and the regulator’s page is the authority.

- Apr 15, 2027: Form 990 for FY2026. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end.
- Apr 18, 2028: Form 990 for FY2027. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end. April 15 falls on a Saturday, so the deadline moves to Monday.
- Annual: Washington charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in Washington register with the state and renew each year, unless exempt. It is due within eleven months after the fiscal year ends. The renewal must be received by the last business day of that month. For a fiscal year ending in November, that is the end of October. Regulator: Charities Program, Corporations and Charities Division, Washington Office of the Secretary of State (https://www.sos.wa.gov/corporations-charities/nonprofits-charities/charities).
- Watch: Automatic revocation rule. No risk shown. Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return. The latest return on file is FY2022.

## When each return reached the IRS

From IRS records of electronically filed returns. The IRS record date is the date in the IRS’s own record of each return. It is not a legal filing date, and extensions are not public.

| Fiscal year | Form | IRS record date | Due date | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| FY2022 | Form 990 | September 29, 2023 | April 18, 2023 |  |
| FY2021 | Form 990 | August 15, 2022 | April 18, 2022 |  |

Returns for fiscal years before 2021, and returns the IRS record cannot date, are not listed.
