- Annual: Michigan charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in Michigan register with the state and renew each year, unless exempt. The registration expires seven months after the fiscal year ends, and the renewal is due at least 30 days before that. Regulator: Charitable Trust Section, Michigan Department of Attorney General (https://www.michigan.gov/consumerprotection/charities).

## When each return reached the IRS

IRS records of electronically filed returns list a return for FY2020, but the IRS record gives no date for it that can be shown.
