Amendments to the Colorado Charitable Solicitations Act in House Bill 12-1236 became effective on January 1, 2013. To accommodate these changes, the Colorado electronic filing system will be updated so that charities will automatically receive a 3 month extension, if the charitable organization has filed for an extension with the IRS. Charities will no longer have to file a separate extension with the Secretary of State. Note that charities must still file a renewal and financial report by the 15th day of the fifth month after the organization’s fiscal year, unless the IRS authorizes a later date for filing Form 990. Changes to the Rules on Charitable Solicitations have also been made, thus resulting in a new schedule for filing and delinquency notices.
