Beware of Scams Provided on the IRS Website IR-2008-88, July 10, 2008

11/28/2007 - Tax Exempt Organizations - Tax-exempt organizations with gross receipts of $25,000 or less were previously not required to submit information returns.  More than 650,000 small tax-exempt organizations may be required to submit a new annual notice, Form 990-N (Electronic Notice (e-Postcard) for Tax-Exempt Organizations not required to File Form 990 or 990-EZ). 

Legislation now requires that any organization that fails to meet its annual reporting requirement for three consecutive years automatically lose its tax-exempt status under the new law.  If that happens, an organization that wants to regain its exempt status will then have to reapply for recognition as a tax-exempt organization.
