    990 filing requirement

    If non-profit was required to file tax returns in past (990EZ) but dropped one huge event and from now on is under the limit of $25,000 gross receipts, do the same rules apply (3 year average) as if non-profit has one huge contribution but otherwise is under the $25,000?

    1st year $40,000
    2nd year 40,000
    3rd year 10,000
    4th year 15,000

    3-year average in 3rd year $30,000 = needs to file

    3-year average in 4th year $21,667 = no need to file

    B. Organizations Not Required To
    File


    15. An organization whose annual gross
    receipts are normally $25,000 or less…


    c. $25,000 gross receipts test. An
    organization’s gross receipts are considered
    normally to be $25,000 or less if the
    organization is:
    i. Up to a year old and has received, or
    donors have pledged to give, $37,500 or less
    during its first tax year;
    ii. Between 1 and 3 years old and
    averaged $30,000 or less in gross receipts
    during each of its first 2 tax years; or
    iii. Three (3) years old or more and
    averaged $25,000 or less in gross receipts for
    the immediately preceding 3 tax years
    including the year for which the return would
    be filed).


    iii above seems to indicate that any exempt organization can eventually stop filing when average gross receipts for the three preceding tax years are $25,000 or less.
