Grace List Part 2
By: grabitsdm | August 31, 2010
The Internal Revenue Service responded to requests to expand the grace period from a May 15 deadline to October 1 as the nonprofit world transitions to all organizations needing to report annually. The good news is that about 2,500 Minnesota nonprofits heeded the call early this past spring (Risking 501(c)(3) status), but there are still roughly 5,000 that risk losing their charitable status for failure to file.
Starting with the 2007 tax year (filed in 2008 or 2009), all nonprofits, including the narrow band of 501(c)(3) charities, needed to file with the IRS. For tax year 2009 (filed in 2010 or 2011), all nonprofits with gross receipts of $25,000 or less must file the 990-N electronic postcard. Those with gross receipts of more than $25,000 and less than $500,000 and total assets of less than $1.25 million can file using the 990-EZ or 990. Those above that range must use the full 990. These numbers will change for tax year 2010 (filed in 2011 and later).
A quick scan of the list from the IRS shows the following Minnesota historical organizations:
Albany Heritage Society Inc
Bechyn Historical Society
Cokato Finnish American Historical Society
Columbia Heights Historical Society
Duluth Preservation Alliance Inc
Duluth Preservation Society Inc
Fort Ridgely Historical Festival Inc
Hennepin-Overland Railway Historical Society Inc

If you know any of these organizations, please take a moment to ask them where they are with filing. The history community in Minnesota has benefited from work each of these has done, so it would be unfortunate for any to lose their status unnecessarily. For more about the list, see the IRS website.
