IRS's New Search Tool - Determine if an Organization is Eligible to Receive Tax-Deductible Contributions

The IRS website now has an on-line search tool that allows users to select an exempt organization and check information about its federal tax status and filings.  You can now search for organizations that:

Are eligible to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions (Publication 78 data),

Have had their tax-exempt status automatically revoked because they have not filed Form 990 series returns or notices annually as required for three consecutive years (Auto-Revocation List),

or

Have filed a Form 990-N annual electronic notice (e-Postcard).
