On Friday, the Internal Revenue Service launched a new online tool called Exempt Organization Select Check. This new resource is designed to help taxpayers gather more information regarding exempt organizations.
Individuals can now go to this online part of IRS.gov and search whether or not an entity is eligible to receive tax exempt donations. The taxpayer can also search and determine if the organization has lost their tax exempt status due to failure to file form 990 or the IRS postcard for 990N for the past three years. Finally, the taxpayer is also allowed to view all 990N postcard returns that have been filed by the selected entity.
