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

- Jan 15, 2027: Form 990 for FY2026. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end.
- Jan 18, 2028: Form 990 for FY2027. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end. January 15 falls on a Saturday, so the deadline moves to Monday.
- Annual: Minnesota charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in Minnesota register with the state and file a report each year, unless exempt. It is due by the 15th day of the seventh month after the fiscal year ends. An extension is available. For a fiscal year ending in August, that is March 15. Regulator: Charities Division, Minnesota Attorney General's Office (https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Charity/).
- 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
