## 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 the District of Columbia, read from the regulator’s own guidance; exemptions vary, and the regulator’s page is the authority.

- Feb 17, 2026: Form 990 for FY2025. Not yet on the IRS file. The October 2026 IRS file shows FY2024 as the latest return.
- Aug 17, 2026: Extended deadline for FY2025. Not yet on the IRS file. Six month automatic extension (Form 8868). August 15 falls on a Saturday, so the deadline moves to Monday. The October 2026 IRS file does not show the return. A return can take weeks to reach the file.
- Feb 16, 2027: Form 990 for FY2026. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end. February 15 is a legal holiday (Washington's Birthday), so the deadline moves to the next business day.
- Feb 15, 2028: Form 990 for FY2027. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end.
- Every two years: District of Columbia charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in the District of Columbia register with the District and renew every two years, unless exempt. Regulator: Business Licensing Division, District of Columbia Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (https://dlcp.dc.gov/node/1618416).
