A new online search tool by the IRS — the Exempt Organizations Select Check — will help users find information about tax-exempt organizations. Users can now go to one location on IRS.gov to search for:
• Organizations eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions (formerly listed in electronic Publication 78). Users may rely on this list to determine deductibility of contributions, just as they did with Pub. 78.
• Organizations whose federal tax exemption was automatically revoked for not filing a Form 990-series return or notice for three consecutive years (Auto-Revocation List).
• Form 990-N (e-Postcard) filers and their submissions.
• Form 990-N (e-Postcard) filers and their submissions.
Exempt Organizations Select Check offers improved search options, too. Users can now look for organizations eligible to receive deductible charitable organizations (Pub. 78 data) by Employer Identification Number (EIN), which wasn’t possible previously. Plus, this data is now updated monthly instead of quarterly.
In addition, the Auto-Revocation List may now be searched by EIN, name, city, state, ZIP code, country, exemption type, and revocation posting date, rather than only by state.
Finally, the EO Select Check site contains tips and suggestions on how to use the search application.
