> Most tax-exempt organizations, other than churches, must file a yearly

> that it automatically loses its tax-exempt status. Loss of exempt status 
> means an organization must file income tax returns and pay income tax, 
> and its contributors will not be able to deduct their donations.
> 
> What must be filed each year depends on the organization’s financial 
> activity:
