MyFTB accountNonprofit administrative dissolution June 2018 Tax News
Effective January 2016, we began to administratively dissolve qualified inactive nonprofit corporations
Who is affected
Qualified nonprofit corporations that are suspended or forfeited by us for a period of 48 continuous months or more and are no longer doing business.
What will be done
We will mail a contact letter to identified qualified inactive nonprofit corporations informing them of the pending administrative dissolution to the last known valid mailing address. A list of the qualified inactive corporations that have been selected and contacted will be posted on the California Secretary of State (SOS) website. The nonprofit corporations posted on the list will have 60 days from the date of the notice to object in writing to the pending administrative dissolution.
What happens if the corporation objects
A nonprofit corporation that objects in writing during the 60 day notice period will have an additional 90 days to pay any owed taxes, penalties, and interest. It must also file any missing returns and a current Statement of Information with SOS, or it will be administratively dissolved/surrendered at the end of the additional 90 day period. (We are authorized to grant one 90 day extension.)
