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

- May 17, 2027: Form 990 for FY2026. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end. May 15 falls on a Saturday, so the deadline moves to Monday.
- Annual: Michigan charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in Michigan register with the state and renew each year, unless exempt. The registration expires seven months after the fiscal year ends, and the renewal is due at least 30 days before that. Regulator: Charitable Trust Section, Michigan Department of Attorney General (https://www.michigan.gov/consumerprotection/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
