A report by GuideStar says more than 3,000 nonprofit groups in Virginia have not filed a tax notification in three years.
Those groups could risk losing their tax-exempt status.
GuideStar, a national organization that monitors charitable organizations, analyzed July figures from the Internal Revenue Service, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported. Until 2006, tax-exempt nonprofits with gross receipts of less than $25,000 didn’t have to file with the IRS.
Congress changed the law to require annual filing and to revoke nonprofit status for any organization that didn’t file for three years.
