Small nonprofit organizations who failed to file information returns required by the Internal Revenue Service for three consecutive years have until October 15, 2010, to file the returns and preserve their tax-exempt status. 

A list of organizations that are at risk of losing their tax-exempt status can be found here: http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=225889,00.html.

Additional information from the IRS can be found here: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=225959,00.html.

The Colorado Bar Association’s website contains detailed information on this topic, which can be found here: http://www.cobar.org/index.cfm/ID/20108/subID/26452/CORP.

Thank you.
