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

- May 17, 2027: Form 990 or 990-EZ for FY2026. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end. May 15 falls on a Saturday, so the deadline moves to Monday.
- Annual: Alabama charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in Alabama register with the state and file a report each year, unless exempt. It is due within 90 days after the fiscal year ends. An extension is available. Regulator: Consumer Interest Division, Alabama Attorney General's Office (https://www.alabamaag.gov/consumer-protection/charitable-organizations/).
- Watch: Automatic revocation rule. No risk shown. Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return.

## When each return reached the IRS

IRS records of electronically filed returns show no return of this organization that can be dated. Form 990-N is not among them.

No return with figures is on the IRS file, so there is nothing to compare.
