Header, items a–k
From IRS records (check them against your group exemption letter):
a. Tax year Calendar year 2026, if this filing is for the window above. It should match the central’s Form 990 or 990-EZ. b. Name of central organization CONCERNED UNITED BIRTHPARENTS INC in the IRS file. Enter the central’s legal name. c. EIN 04-2605741, the central’s own EIN (not a separate EIN used for a group return). d. GEN 9428 e. Number of subordinates The IRS file lists 0. Enter your own count as of the day you submit, leaving out chapters this filing removes and including chapters it adds. You fill in:
f. IRC subsection The 501(c) paragraph all your chapters share, written like “501(c)(3)”. g–i. Contact A principal officer, their title and a business-hours phone number. j. Type of filing Annual update for your yearly window (or interim update, or termination). k. Type of change Reportable change, or no reportable change. Part I and Part II
Part I asks five yes/no questions: any change in purpose, character or method of operation; any chapter that lost its exemption through automatic revocation; whether every chapter is affiliated with you and under your general supervision; any change to the chapter list since your most recent filing; and whether you’re adding chapters. Your answers decide which parts of Part III you complete.
Part II has three statements you check only if true: all chapters are in the same 501(c) paragraph; none is ineligible; and all have adopted a uniform purpose statement. If you can’t check one, talk to your adviser before filing.
Part III: the changes
A change is a chapter that joined, left, changed its name or mailing address, or lost its exemption through automatic revocation, or a change in purpose, character or method of operation.
- Section A: describe changes in purpose (line 1), and enter how many chapters lost their exemption through automatic revocation since your most recent annual filing (line 2). You can count them yourself, free.
- Section B: one row per chapter with a change. A removal needs only the type of entry and the EIN; a new chapter or a change needs the name, address and the other items. Chapters that lost their exemption through automatic revocation go in as removals (our reading of the instructions; confirm with your adviser).
