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

- Jun 15, 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 December 15, 2026.
- Dec 15, 2026: Extended deadline for FY2026. Six month automatic extension (Form 8868).
- Jun 15, 2027: Form 990 for FY2027. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end.
- Annual: Connecticut charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in Connecticut register with the state and renew each year, unless exempt. It is due within eleven months after the fiscal year ends. For a fiscal year ending in January, that is the end of December. Regulator: Public Charities Unit, Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (https://portal.ct.gov/dcp/charities).
- 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
