No penalty will be imposed if it can be demonstrated that there is a reasonable cause why the request was not submitted on time. An unpaid volunteer director or member of a board of directors of an exempt organization is exempt from the sanction if they serve only on an honorary basis, do not participate in the daily or financial operations of the organization, and have no real knowledge of the non-compliance for which the sanction is imposed. This exception does not apply if it results in no one being responsible for the sanction. Political organizations that do not file Form 1120-POL are subject to a fine equivalent to 5% of the tax due for each month (or partial month) in which the return is delayed, up to a maximum of 25% of the tax due, unless they can prove that the default was due to reasonable cause.
Form 8282 must be filed with the IRS within 125 days of being made available, and a copy must also be provided to the donor.

Requests for contributions or other payments by certain exempt organizations (including lobbyists and political action committees) must include a statement that payments to those organizations are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.
This statement must be included in the fundraising request and be eye-catching and easily recognizable. Any organization that is not eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions if they or a predecessor organization was, at any time during the 5-year period ending on the date of the fundraising request, an organization of the type to which this disclosure requirement applies. This disclosure requirement applies to a fundraising request if all of the following are met: it seeks to change a return position for which a precision-related penalty was imposed or could be imposed at the time the repair is requested; a person authorized to take official action on behalf of a school that claims not to racially discriminate against students must certify annually, under penalty of perjury, on Schedule E (Form 990) or Form 5578, Annual Certification of Racial Non-Discrimination for a Private School Exempt from Federal Income Tax, as applicable, that, to their knowledge and belief, the school has met all applicable requirements; under section 4976, the return of funds from a section 501 (c) organization to the employer that created the beneficiary association can subject them to a penalty of 100% of the excise tax on the amount of the reversion; under section 4976, the return of funds from a section 501 (c) (1) organization to the employer that created the supplemental unemployment benefit trust can subject them to a penalty of 100% of the excise tax on the amount of the reversion; and payment of liability insurance premiums or payment or reimbursement by an organization of fines, taxes, or certain expenses under section 4958, unless excluded from income as an additional de minimis benefit under section 132 (a). Violations of these provisions result in taxes and penalties against private foundations and, in some cases, their managers, important taxpayers, and certain related individuals. Disqualified individuals from a section 509 (a) support organization that supports an applicable tax-exempt organization may choose to include an amount in gross income in their tax year of transfer under section 83 (b), resulting in an overbenefit transaction occurring on the date they receive economic benefit for federal income tax purposes. When activities are aimed at improving marketing conditions or other business conditions in one or more lines of business rather than improving production techniques or improving conditions for people engaged in agriculture, organizations must qualify for exemption as business leagues, boards of commerce, or other organizations as explained below in section 501 (c). Withdrawal will not prevent IRS from using information contained in request in any subsequent examination of organization's returns.
An exempt organization conducting an internship program by placing college and university students in cooperating government agencies is also not considered an educational organization. While labor organizations are generally comprised primarily of employees or employee representatives (in form of collective bargaining agents) and similar employee groups, evidence that membership is primarily workers does not indicate exempt purpose. Organizations requesting exemption under section 501 (c) (2) and intending to file request for recognition must begin filing Form 990, Declaration of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, and indicate on return that they have not yet received determination letter. Intangible religious benefit must be provided by organization organized exclusively for religious purposes and must be type generally not sold in commercial transaction outside context of donation. Any organization described in section 170 (b) (A), other than disqualified support organization, may qualify as publicly funded for first 5 years if they can reasonably be expected to meet one-third supporting test or facts and circumstances test during first 5 tax years.

All these organizations must meet certain eligibility requirements before receiving services from community organizations in Central Ohio.
