The majority of tax-exempt organizations (with the exception of churches) are required to file a yearly return or notice with the IRS. If the organization doesn't file as required for three consecutive years, it can automatically lose its tax-empty status. It might not be fair, but it's the law. Loss of the tax exempt status means the organization loses their status and they will be required to file income tax returns and pay income tax. Contributors to the organization will not be able to deduct their donations. File if you haven't already if you don't want to lose your tax exempt status!
