NASCO comments on 1023 EZ

Please find below NASCO’s Board letter to the IRS in response to the IRS’s solicitation for comments on its forms.  In the letter, we underscore NASCO’s longstanding position that the 1023-EZ should be revisited and reiterate the need for timely availability of Forms 990.  We highlight how the use of the Form 1023-EZ combined with the IRS’s retroactive reinstatement procedures under section 4 of Rev. Proc. 2014-11 can harm the public interest and enable scam charities to fly under the radar with serious consequences for donors, public funds, and confidence in the charitable sector.
