Schedule B Collection Suspension

The New York Attorney General’s Charities Bureau has suspended its collection of IRS Form 990 Schedule B from public charities while we review any amendments that may be necessary to our policies, procedures and forms in order to comply with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta(594 U.S. __, 2021). Effective immediately, public charities’ annual filings will no longer require disclosure information that identifies donors. Any notices that such charities have received regarding any deficiency due to missing or incomplete Schedule Bs are no longer operative as to such deficiency, and annual filings will no longer be considered deficient in such regard. When filing electronically, private foundations should upload their complete Schedule B to IRS form 990PF in the “Other Documents” section of the annual filing upload page.
