On March 22, 2022, the IRS announced it will temporarily stop sending written notices to certain entities that fall behind on filing obligations related to Forms 5500, 990 and others. The IRS usually mails these notices to tax-exempt or governmental entities in case of a delinquent return. The suspension does not relieve entities of any filing deadlines or obligations.

Affected Notices

The suspension applies to these notices:

  • Reminder Notice About Your Form 5500-EZ or 5500-SF Filing Requirement
  • Form 940 Not Required—Federal, State and Local Government Agencies
  • First Taxpayer Delinquency Investigation Notice—Forms 990/990EZ/990N, 990PF, 990T, 5227, 1120-POL and 990/990EZ
  • First Delinquency Notice—Forms 5500 and 5500-SF
