Public disclosure and availability of exempt organizations returns: Non-Compliance with exempt organizations public disclosure requirements

 

What should I do if an exempt organization will not let me see its Form 990 or 990-T returns or exemption application materials?

Your letter should provide the name and address of the organization that refuses to allow public inspection or provide copies of its documents, and request that the documents be made available for public inspection.

The Tax Exempt/Government Entities Division of the IRS will contact the organization and arrange a time during which the documents may be inspected. If the organization fails to provide the documents at the agreed upon time, statutory penalties may be assessed.
