ChapterFile

Central nonprofit organizations must collect annual information from subordinate chapters, often through email and shared drives. The supplied research confirms a 2026 revenue procedure and reports that the smallest electronic notice does not, by itself, satisfy the cited supervision-evidence requirement. That creates a recurring collection problem, but the exact facts and documentation still require qualified tax review.

ChapterFile gives each chapter a scoped annual request. An authorized representative verifies identity, confirms organizational facts, uploads the requested return or supplemental evidence, responds to exceptions and signs an attestation whose text and authority are explicit. The national office reviews the packet and records acceptance, correction or escalation.

A secure link proves possession of the link, not officer authority. Upload, extracted field, representative assertion, electronic signature, central review, acceptance, inclusion decision and later correction remain separate. The portal does not file a return, determine exempt status or certify that group-exemption supervision requirements are satisfied.

The first release should implement the central office's counsel-approved checklist and manual review. Its value is completion visibility and evidence history, not a ten-minute compliance promise or automatic legal conclusion.
