## 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 New Mexico, read from the regulator’s own guidance; exemptions vary, and the regulator’s page is the authority.

- 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.
- Annual: New Mexico charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in New Mexico register with the state and file a report each year, unless exempt. It is due within six months after the fiscal year ends. An extension is available. For a fiscal year ending in September, that is the end of March. Regulator: Charities Unit, New Mexico Department of Justice (https://nmdoj.gov/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 FY2025.

## When each return reached the IRS
