For charitable organizations that solicit contributions in Michigan |
- This site can be used for multiple purposes:
- Charities that solicit contributions may file their initial forms with the Michigan Department of Attorney General, Charitable Trust Section. There is no fee to become licensed to solicit contributions in Michigan.
- Charities that solicit contributions may renew their Michigan solicitation license.
- Michigan charities and charities holding assets in Michigan may register under Michigan's charitable trust law.
- Should I e-file or submit paper forms to Michigan?
- Michigan has updated its paper forms on its website. The new forms are not yet available here for e-filing. However, Michigan will continue to accept the forms e-filed through this website. Some organizations, including those listed below, may prefer to file the new paper forms:
- Organizations that file Form 990-N. Instead of requiring a completed IRS Form 990-EZ through e-filing, you can simply complete a short schedule on the new application form.
- Organizations that might be exempt from filing in Michigan. Instead of filing the Initial Charitable Trust / Charitable Solicitation Questionnaire through e-filing, you may instead file the Request for Exemption form.
- What do I need to do to start e-filing?
- Request a Login ID and password for an officer of the organization.
- If this is your first filing with Michigan, you will need PDF copies of the organizing documents for your organization and/or correspondence from the IRS regarding your tax exempt status. The system will tell you if you need these documents as you enter the registration information.
- What are the steps for entering and filing the one-time State Charity Registration?
- Request a Login ID for an officer of your organization.
- Create your Registration using the Filing Creation Wizard.
- Once the filing has been created using the Wizard, enter information into the Michigan Licensing and Registration pages using the online State Registration System.
- When you have finished entering the information into the system, verify the Registration form and then, when it verifies with no errors, mark the filing as complete.
- Authenticate (electronically sign) the Registration Form.
