One of the things my team @ProPublica does is run our Nonprofit Explorer database. It’s super popular and useful, but it relies on IRS data to run.

So we’re in a unique position to both see that the IRS is failing at its duty to make this data available and also to be able to report on it as news: https://www.propublica.org/article/irs-hasnt-released-nearly-half-million-nonprofit-tax-records

The IRS Hasn’t Released Nearly Half a Million Nonprofit Tax Records

If you’re trying to evaluate a charity this year, you might have a hard time. The IRS is behind on releasing Form 990s, limiting access to key financial information the public uses to evaluate the nation’s tax-exempt companies.

As a regular user of this excellent ProPublica database, I can definitely confirm the IRS is failing to keep this crucial info on charities and nonprofits updated and current. Lots of missing info and gaps nowadays. Not good.
