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

- Aug 17, 2026: Form 990 for FY2026. Not yet on the IRS file. The October 2026 IRS file shows FY2025 as the latest return. Filed on extension, it is due February 16, 2027.
- Feb 16, 2027: Extended deadline for FY2026. Six month automatic extension (Form 8868). February 15 is a legal holiday (Washington's Birthday), so the deadline moves to the next business day.
- Aug 16, 2027: Form 990 for FY2027. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end. August 15 falls on a Sunday, so the deadline moves to Monday.
- State: Delaware charitable solicitation registration. Delaware does not require charities to register before they ask for contributions. Regulator: Office of the Attorney General, Delaware Department of Justice.
- 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

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.
