• Extensions of time to file the annual report require filing of an extension form (NHCT-4)
together with the $75 annual filing fee. The NHCT-4 form may be downloaded from the
publications web page, above. Filing an IRS Form 8868 to extend the time to file a return
does not extend the time to file with the Charitable Trusts Unit.

Concord, NH 03301.

annual report filing requirement. The application to suspend may be downloaded from
the publications web page, above. To qualify, filing requirements must be current.

reputation and its resources at risk. Failing to file annual reports in a timely manner may lead to
an investigation, and could then result in litigation and the imposition of fines and penalties.
