ISCHEDULE SERVICE UPDATE
The IRS doesn't update its records on an organization's public charity status based on a change the organization makes on Schedule A (Form 990). An organization that claims a public charity status other than sectionġ70(b)(1)(A)(vi) can also demonstrate that it qualifies under sectionġ70(b)(1)(A)(vi) by completing Part II it may want to do so for purposes such as qualifying for the first Special Rule in Schedule B (Form 990), Schedule of Contributors, by meeting the 33 1/ 3% support test. If an organization believes there is more than one reason why it is a public charity, it should check only one box but can explain the other reasons it qualifies for public charity status in Part VI. An organization that doesn't check any of the boxes on lines 1 through 12 shouldn't file Form 990, Form 990-EZ, or Schedule A (Form 990) for the tax year, but should file Form 990-PF instead. The reason can be the same as stated in the organization's tax-exempt determination letter from the IRS (“exemption letter”) or subsequent IRS determination letter, or it can be different.

Instead, the organization should report all amounts in Part II or Part III using the accounting method checked on the 2021 Form 990, Part XII, line 1, or the 2021 Form 990-EZ, line G.Ĭheck only one of the boxes on lines 1 through 12 to indicate the reason the organization is a public charity for the tax year. If the accounting method the organization used in completing the 2020 Schedule A (Form 990) was different from the accounting method checked on the 2021 Form 990, Part XII, line 1, or the 2021 Form 990-EZ, line G, the organization shouldn't report in either Part II or Part III the amounts reported in the applicable columns of the 2020 Schedule A (Form 990). The organization must use this accounting method in reporting all amounts on Schedule A (Form 990), regardless of the accounting method it used in completing Schedule A (Form 990) for prior years, except that in Part V, Sections D and E, distributions must be reported on the cash receipts and disbursements method.
