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

- May 17, 2027: Form 990-N for FY2026. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end. May 15 falls on a Saturday, so the deadline moves to Monday.
- Annual: Rhode Island charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in Rhode Island register with the state and renew each year, unless exempt. The registration expires one year after the Department approves it, and the renewal is due at least 30 days before that. Regulator: Securities Division, Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation (https://dbr.ri.gov/banking-securities-and-charitable-organizations/securities-and-charities/charitable-organizations).
- 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.

## What the IRS lists say

## No size comparison

Peer groups start at $50,000 of revenue on the latest return. Below that, most organizations file Form 990-N, which carries no financial figures, so there is no group to compare with.
