There are two main reasons why a unit’s IRS990 is rejected:
- The IRS does not have you listed as a part of the Delaware Group Exemption in their system. The IRS is delayed in updating information in their system which is causing the conflict and rejection.
- 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 lead avoiding any potential fees.
- If the IRS states that you are not a member of the Delaware PTA Group Exemption:
- Complete the IRS Form 8821. You can access this form and a sample form on the Free State PTA website.
- Submit the form to info@fspta.org.
- Upon receipt of the form, Free State PTA will coordinate with Delaware PTA to conduct outreach to IRS on your behalf.
- 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 fiscal year change.
- If you are still experiencing issues, please complete the IRS Form and email the form at Free State PTA at info@fspta.org.
