John Gibson obviously didn't do his homework, or he'd have been able to point out that the reporting is meant to be done well before the election, and November 15 is only the reporting date if one has filed for TWO three-month extensions. In other words, that's not when "all the other non-profit organizations are required" to file - it's 6 months after when they should have filed.

From Guidestar:

The filing deadline for Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990-PF is "the 15th day of the 5th month after [an] organization's accounting period ends." Thus, if a nonprofit's fiscal year ends on December 31, its 990 will be due May 15 of the following year. If the fiscal year ends on June 30, the 990 due date is November 15.

A nonprofit can get an automatic three-month extension by submitting Form 8868 to the IRS. The organization often can get another three-month extension by submitting a second Form 8868.

Thus, a nonprofit can legitimately file its Form 990 with the IRS 11 months after its fiscal year ends:

Accounting Period	990 Due Date	Due Date with 1 Extension	Due Date with 2 Extensions
1/1/2003-12/31/2003	5/15/04	8/15/04	11/15/04
7/1/2003-6/30/2004	11/15/04	2/15/05	5/15/05

MCDC is part of the Declaration Alliance, which filed its reports last year Nov. 15 after requesting two 3-month extensions, i.e., the reports were actually due May 15.

I didn't say it was illegal, I said it was a bit suggestive to say all non-profits were required to file on that date, when that was only the due date after the two extensions.

Of course, you're saying it's a flat out lie, because you're saying that isn't the due date for every non-profit in the nation, and Simcox said it was.
