Compliance clock

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

State
Texas charitable solicitation registration
Texas requires registration of some charities only. Only law enforcement related organizations that solicit by telephone register with the Attorney General, and certain public safety and veterans organizations register with the Secretary of State.
Watch
Automatic revocation rule No risk shown
Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return. The latest return on file is FY2024.

Filing history

When each return reached the IRS

From IRS records of electronically filed returns. The IRS record date is the date in the IRS’s own record of each return. It is not a legal filing date, and extensions are not public.

What public data cannot tell you
