Automatic Revocation of Exemption List
The IRS publishes a list of organizations that have had their federal tax-exempt status automatically revoked for failing to file an annual information return or notice with the IRS for three consecutive years (Auto-Revocation List). The Auto-Revocation List may be viewed and searched on Exempt Organizations Select Check (EO Select Check). The Auto-Revocation List provides the organization's name, employer identification number (EIN), exemption type, last known address, effective date of revocation and the date the organization's name was posted on IRS.gov. Users can also download the Auto-Revocation List using EO Select Check.

Hurricane Sandy: Reliance for Contributors and Grantors
As part of its effort to support victims of Hurricane Sandy, the IRS has temporarily postponed until after February 2013 the inclusion of revoked organizations located in the covered disaster area on the Auto-Revocation List. In addition, the IRS will not remove these organizations from the Exempt Organizations Select Check Pub 78 data before February 2013.
Contributors and grantors can rely on the Exempt Organizations Select Check (Pub 78 data) page to determine organization deductibility and foundation status, even if the organization no longer appears in the Statistics of Income (SOI) Tax Stats - EO BMF). See Rev. Proc. 2011-33.

Because the list is an official IRS record of organizations that lost their exempt status for failing to file for three consecutive years, an organization whose exempt status is reinstated remains on the list. If, however, you think your organization was erroneously listed as revoked, see our frequently asked questions.
