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 November, that is the end of May.
Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return. The latest return on file is FY2024.
