FinCEN's March 2025 interim final rule narrowed the Corporate Transparency Act so U.S.-formed entities no longer file BOI reports, but foreign-formed entities registered in U.S. states still must file within 30 days, and New York's LLC Transparency Act took effect January 1, 2026 for foreign LLCs authorized to do business there.

Nonprofits with gross receipts of $50,000 or less file Form 990-N; those under $200,000 receipts and $500,000 assets file 990-EZ; everyone else files the full 990. This guide covers thresholds, deadlines, late penalties up to $120 per day, and the three-year automatic revocation rule that quietly strips exempt status.
