Download and parse the IRS Tax Exempt Organization (TEOS) auto-revocation bulk data file — the authoritative public record of every nonprofit that has lost or regained federal tax-exempt status.
What it does
The IRS automatically revokes a nonprofit's tax-exempt status when the organization fails to file required annual returns (Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990-N) for three consecutive years. This scraper downloads the full auto-revocation list from the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search (TEOS) system and returns structured records for every affected organization.
The file is updated monthly by the IRS and covers over 1,000,000 historical revocations going back to 2007, including organizations that were later reinstated.
Use cases
- Grantmaker compliance — verify a charity has not been auto-revoked before disbursing funds
- DAF sponsor re-verification — monthly re-check of all donor-advised fund recipient organizations
- Charity-verification SaaS — integrate up-to-date revocation status into donor and compliance products
- CRM / donor data hygiene — flag or remove revoked organizations from your donor database
- Monthly delta reporting — schedule a monthly run and identify newly-revoked or newly-reinstated orgs by

Notes
- No proxy required. The IRS bulk-data file is a public static download with no geo-restriction or anti-bot measures.
- Monthly cadence. Schedule a run each month after the IRS updates the file (typically mid-month) to surface newly-revoked and newly-reinstated organizations.
- Memory. This actor requires at least 512 MB of memory to decompress and parse the bulk data file.
- Full corpus run time. A complete run over all 1M+ records takes approximately 5–10 minutes.
- Reinstatement detection. The
statusfield is derived: ifexemption_reinstatement_dateis populated, the status isreinstated; otherwise it isauto-revoked. Filter onstatus = "reinstated"to find organizations that regained their exemption.
