The Wisconsin form, officially known as Form #1952, is an essential document for charitable organizations operating within the state. This form serves as an annual financial report that must be filed with the Department of Financial Institutions, specifically the Division of Corporate and Consumer Services. Organizations that are registered to solicit contributions in Wisconsin are required to complete this form if they file an IRS 990, 990EZ, or 990-PF. The filing must occur within 12 months after the organization’s fiscal year-end. Key components of the form include a comprehensive financial summary, detailed information about the organization’s board members and officers, and a list of states where the organization holds licenses to solicit contributions. Additionally, organizations that have received significant contributions must provide audited or reviewed financial statements, depending on the amount raised during the fiscal year. Careful attention is required when completing the form, as certain submissions must not be stapled, and specific attachments are mandated. Understanding the requirements and timelines associated with Form #1952 is crucial for compliance and transparency in the charitable sector in Wisconsin.
