1. $15 Annual Filing Fee – Make check or money order payable to "ILLINOIS CHARITY BUREAU FUND." An annual financial report submitted without proper fees will not be considered filed.

▪ Soliciting Organizations are required to pay a $15 Annual Report Filing Fee if gross contributions are greater than $15,000 or assets are greater than $25,000.

▪ Trust Organizations registered under the Charitable Trust Act only are required to pay a $15 Annual Report Filing Fee if gross revenues or assets are greater than $25,000.

2. Form AG990-IL – Complete all sections and line items applicable to the organization. See 6 below for Simplified Filing Option for Small Organizations. An annual financial report submitted with an incomplete Form AG990-IL will not be considered filed.

B. SIGNATURES: The Form AG990-IL must be signed by two different officers (president or other authorized officer and the chief fiscal officer) or by two trustees. One signature shall be accepted if there is only one trustee. A Form AG990-IL without required signatures is incomplete.

C. Part I, Line D: Report "contributions" as defined by the Solicitation for Charity Act. The Solicitation for Charity Act defines "contributions" to include the gross amounts of cash donations as well as gross sums paid by the public for merchandise, special events, rights or services of the organization. A Form AG990-IL that fails to report "contributions" as defined by the Solicitation for Charity Act is incomplete. (A complete definition of "contribution" under the Solicitation for Charity Act is shown on the back of these instructions.)

D. Part II, Line J1: Report all program costs associated with a combined fundraising appeal to the extent such was allocated to Charitable Program Service Expense and entered on line J as Charitable Program Service Expense. The amount should equal the amount reported on the back of the AG990-IL form, question 7b(ii). You must have and maintain the documentation to support the allocations made.

3. IRS Return or Report − IRS form 990 (excluding Schedule B), 990EZ (excluding Schedule B), 990PF, 1041, 1120 or other, must be attached if required by the IRS. If the organization did not file a Federal return or report, attach explanation. An annual financial report submitted without the required Federal return or report is incomplete.

4. Audited Financial Statements must be attached by a public charity if contributions exceeded $150,000 or if the public charity raised contributions in excess of $25,000 through the services of a professional fundraiser. The Solicitation for Charity Act defines contributions to include the gross amounts of cash donations as well as gross sums paid by the public for merchandise, special events, rights or services of the organization. (A complete definition of "contribution" under the Solicitation for Charity Act is shown on the back of these instructions.) An annual financial report without required audited financial statements is incomplete.

5. Form IFC Report of Individual Fundraising Campaign – If the organization used a paid professional fundraiser, a separate Form IFC is required for each campaign, and each must be signed by both the professional fundraiser and an officer or director of the organization. An annual financial report without the required Form IFC is incomplete.

6. Simplified Filing Option for Small Organizations:

▪ Soliciting Organizations with gross contributions and assets of $25,000 or less during the fiscal year may file an AG990-IL with all required signatures, disclosing only total revenue, total expenditures, and assets at the fiscal year end (Lines A, G and O of the AG990-IL). A $15 annual report filing fee is due only if gross contributions were more than $15,000.

▪ Trust Organizations registered solely under the Charitable Trust Act with gross revenue and assets of $25,000 or less during the fiscal year may file an AG990-IL with all required signatures, disclosing only total revenue, total expenditures, and assets at the fiscal year end (Lines A, G and O of the AG990-IL). A $15 annual report filing fee is not due.

▪ A 60 day extension will be granted only upon the filing of a written request with the Attorney General prior to the report due date.

▪ If a proper and complete annual report (AG990-IL with all required attachments and applicable fees) or a written extension request is not received prior to the due date, a $100 late report filing fee (checks payable to the "Illinois Charity Bureau Fund") is required by Illinois law. The report cannot be accepted and will not be considered filed if it is late and the late fee is not paid.

Submit the complete annual financial report (AG990-IL with all required attachments and applicable fees) or written extension request to:

Section 1(b) of the Solicitation for Charity Act defines contributions as follows:

"Contribution." The promise or grant of any money or property of any kind or value, including the promise to pay, except payments by union members of an organization. Reference to the dollar amount of "contributions" in the Act means, in the case of promises to pay, or payments for merchandise or rights of any other description, the value of the total amount promised to be paid or paid for such merchandise or rights and not merely that portion of the purchase price to be applied to a charitable purpose. Contribution shall not include the proceeds from the sale of admission tickets by any not-for-profit music or dramatic arts organization that establishes, by such proof as the Attorney General may require, that it has received an exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (26 USC 501 et seq.) and which is organized and operated for the presentation of live public performances of musical or theatrical works on a regular basis. For purposes of this definition, union member dues and donated services shall not be deemed contributions. (See 225 ILCS 460/1(b).)
