Instructions for Annual Renewal

What is a renewal?

Renewing a registration means updating the information on file with our office after the organization’s fiscal year has concluded.  This is done once each year, and is due at the same time that the Form 990 is due to the IRS (the 15th day of the fifth month after the organization’s fiscal year has concluded). See the table below to calculate your due date.

A renewal automatically advances the reporting period one year and must include a financial report.  If financial information for the most recent fiscal year is not available by the renewal deadline, the organization must file for an extension of the deadline to remain in "Good" status and avoid late fees.

 

Is there a fee to renew?

Yes.  See the fee schedule for current fees.
