- Annual: Washington charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in Washington register with the state and renew each year, unless exempt. It is due within eleven months after the fiscal year ends. The renewal must be received by the last business day of that month. For a fiscal year ending in December, that is the end of November. Regulator: Charities Program, Corporations and Charities Division, Washington Office of the Secretary of State (https://www.sos.wa.gov/corporations-charities/nonprofits-charities/charities).

## What the IRS lists say
