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

- Feb 17, 2026: Form 990 for FY2025. Not yet on the IRS file. The October 2026 IRS file shows FY2024 as the latest return.
- Aug 17, 2026: Extended deadline for FY2025. Not yet on the IRS file. Six month automatic extension (Form 8868). August 15 falls on a Saturday, so the deadline moves to Monday. The October 2026 IRS file does not show the return. A return can take weeks to reach the file.
- Feb 16, 2027: Form 990 for FY2026. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end. February 15 is a legal holiday (Washington's Birthday), so the deadline moves to the next business day.
- Feb 15, 2028: Form 990 for FY2027. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end.
- Annual: Wisconsin charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in Wisconsin register with the state and renew each year, unless exempt. It is due by July 31 each year. A separate annual financial report is also due within 12 months after the fiscal year ends. Regulator: Division of Corporate and Consumer Services, Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (https://dfi.wi.gov/Pages/BusinessServices/CharitableProfessionalOrganizations/GeneralInformation.aspx).
- Watch: Automatic revocation rule. No risk shown. Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return. The latest return on file is FY2024.

## When each return reached the IRS

From IRS records of electronically filed returns. The IRS record date is the date in the IRS’s own record of each return. It is not a legal filing date, and extensions are not public.

| Fiscal year | Form | IRS record date | Due date | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| FY2024 | Form 990 | February 18, 2025 | February 18, 2025 | On or before the due date |
| FY2023 | Form 990 | February 15, 2024 | February 15, 2024 | On or before the due date |
| FY2022 | Form 990 | May 12, 2023 | February 15, 2023 |  |

Returns for fiscal years before 2021, and returns the IRS record cannot date, are not listed.
