February 2, 2026 Filing Extension: What it means for Form 990 Filers
The IRS has announced a significant filing extension for certain Form 990 filers, moving the deadline to February 2, 2026, for tax-exempt organizations impacted by recent natural disasters. This relief applies to nonprofits that were already operating under a valid extension for their 2024 returns and are located in designated disaster-affected states and counties. For eligible organizations, the added time can ease compliance pressures while they focus on recovery efforts without risking penalties or their tax-exempt status.
