  • Public Disclosure for Tax-Exempt Organizations
    Public Disclosure for Tax-Exempt Organizations Tax-exempt organizations are required to make a copy of their application for exemption and Form(s) 990 (and 990-T, if applicable) available for public inspection and to provide copies of such forms to individuals or organizations that request copies. Alternatively, the Internet may be used to make these documents available. (See the “Using the Internet” section which follows.) These rules apply to an organization’s Form(s) 990 (and 990-T, if applicable) for the last three years and to its application for exemption.1 If the application was filed prior to July 15, 1987, disclosure is not required unless the organization had a copy of the application on July 15, 1987. An organization may omit names and addresses of contributors from its return(s). Failure to comply with disclosure requirements can result in an enforcement action by the IRS. While disclosure rules create an additional burden, they also provide an opportunity for your organization to showcase the community benefits that it provides. The rules also heighten the need to carefully review all responses, including narrative explanations, contained on your Form(s) 990/990-T before filing. Where Must Information Be Provided? Generally, an organization must make its documents available for public inspection at any location where it has three or more employees. If the only services provided at the site are in furtherance of exempt purposes and the site does not serve as an office for management staff, the documents are not required to be made available there. How Quickly Must Organizations Reply? Requests for copies can be made in person or in writing.
