There are two main reasons why a unit’s IRS 990 is rejected:
- The IRS does not have you listed as a part of the Delaware PTA Group Exemption in their system.
- The fiscal year has been changed to January 1 through December 31.
- If rejected, please keep a copy of your rejection letters/notices. This is critical information that will help avoid any potential fees.
- If the IRS states that you are not a member of the Delaware PTA Group Exemption:
- Check with Free State PTA to see if they have your unit’s Delaware PTA consent form on file by emailing info@fspta.org.
- The Delaware PTA Consent Form is found here: https://www.fspta.org/resources-guides
- If the fiscal year has changed from July 1st through June 30th, rectify this issue by:
- Complete an IRS Form 1128.
- Send the form to the IRS by certified mail.
- Once you confirm receipt of delivery, call the IRS and request them to expedite the fiscal year change.
- If you are still experiencing issues, please complete the IRS form and email the form to Free State PTA at info@fspta.org.
