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

- Nov 16, 2026: Form 990 for FY2026. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end. November 15 falls on a Sunday, so the deadline moves to Monday.
- Nov 15, 2027: Form 990 for FY2027. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end.
- Annual: Illinois charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in Illinois register with the state and file a report each year, unless exempt. It is due within six months after the fiscal year ends. An extension is available. For a fiscal year ending in June, that is the end of December. Regulator: Charitable Trust Bureau, Office of the Illinois Attorney General (https://illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/Consumer-Protection/Charities/Building-Better-Charities/Charity-Registration/).
- 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.
