## 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 Colorado, read from the regulator’s own guidance; exemptions vary, and the regulator’s page is the authority. No return is on the IRS file and the ruling is not recent, so only upcoming dates are listed.

- 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: Colorado charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in Colorado register with the state and renew each year, unless exempt. It is due by the 15th day of the fifth month after the fiscal year ends. An extension is available. For a fiscal year ending in December, that is May 15. Regulator: Charities Program, Colorado Secretary of State (https://www.coloradosos.gov/pubs/charities/charitableHome.html).

## When each return reached the IRS

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

## What public data cannot tell you
