23,898 Texas Nonprofits At Risk of Automatic Revocation of Tax-Exempt Status -
Congress passed the law that changed the rules so now all nonprofits must file a 990 form with the Internal Revenue Service.  For many small nonprofits with annual revenue below $25,000, that means filing an electronic version of IRS form 990-N (also known as the ePostcard) by October 15. Larger organizations must file form 990 or 990-EZ.  23,898 Texas nonprofits are at serious risk of having their 501 (c)(3) status revoked if they do no file IRS 990 forms by October 15, 2010.  Read more at http://www.tano.org/losestatus/.
