A. Federal Annual Returns
The IRS requires most tax-exempt charitable organisations to submit an annual return (Check the IRS website for a list of exceptions).
An organization’s yearly gross receipts dictate which form should be utilised to submit the annual federal return.
The IRS defines ‘gross receipt’ as “the total sums the organisation received from all sources throughout its yearly accounting period, before deducting any expenditures or expenses.”
B. Unrelated Business Profits
If an organisation earns more than $1,000 from a trade or company that is unrelated to the organization’s declared purpose, it must submit Form 990-T to pay taxes on that revenue.
If your organisation anticipates to pay $500 or more in unrelated business income taxes for the year, you must pay a quarterly estimated tax on the unrelated business income using Form 990-W.
Any incorporated nonprofit must have a registered agent with a Nevada office address. If you change your registered agent or their office location, you must submit a Statement of Change of Registered Agent with the Secretary of State so that your Articles of Incorporation may be revised.
Your company may be terminated if you fail to inform the Secretary of State of this change.
Every year, nonprofits must submit a list of its officers and directors to the Nevada Secretary of State by the last day of their incorporation anniversary month.
Failure to submit the required reports may result in the termination of your company.
The vast majority of Nevada organisations will be free from the need of acquiring a regular business licence. Nonprofits seeking exemption must file a Declaration of Eligibility for State Business License Exemption with the Nevada Secretary of State.
