Yes. If an organization's annual gross receipts for the year are less than or equal to $1 million, the IRS can charge the organization a penalty of $20 for each day the return is late, not to exceed the lesser of $10,000 or 5% of the organization's gross receipts for the year. If an organization's annual gross receipts for the year exceed $1 million, the IRS can charge the organization a penalty of $100 for each day the return is late, not to exceed $50,000. The organization's tax-exemption is automatically revoked if it fails to file its return for three consecutive years.
