For 990-N Filers—If your organization  does           
not complete an IRS Form 990 or 990-EZ 
because it files an IRS form 990-N, the 
Charitable Activities Section will  consider 
suspending the requirement to file a Form 990 or 
990-EZ for Oregon purposes upon request. 
 
CT-12F filers that file a 990-N should include a 
copy of their 990-N to facilitate processing of 
their reports and to assist in limiting requests for 
additional information. 
 
If the organization  files an IRS Form  990-N 
because its gross receipts are normally $50,000 
or less, but its  assets are more  than $100,000, 
please contact this office in writing if you would 
like the Charitable Activities Section to consider 
suspending the requirement to file an IRS Form 
990  or 990-EZ for Oregon purposes.   The 
amount  of  assets in  excess of $100,000  is 
material to consideration of suspension requests.  
Please include a balance sheet or similar 
statement listing your assets to expedite review 
of your request. 
 
For organizations  that  do  not  file a 
990/990-EZ/990-N  with  the  IRS.   Please 
attach to your CT-12F a copy of your Form 1120 
or other return your organization has filed with 
the IRS for the reporting period.  We will contact 
you if  this office determines  that  a 990-EZ or 
990 is required for Oregon purposes. 
 
Important Note—Organizations that file Form 
990 or 990-EZ with the IRS are not required to 
attach  Schedule B listing of  contributors to 
filings with  the Charitable Activities Section. 
However, if voluntarily submitted, the schedule 
of contributors may be made available for public 
inspection. 
 
This exclusion does  not apply to  Form  990-PF 
filers  who  must submit  their schedule of 
contributors (Schedule B).
