The AHA, Association of American Medical Colleges and Catholic Health Association of the United States yesterday requested that the Internal Revenue Service provide a six-month automatic extension for filing Forms 990, 990-T, and 4720 to any Section 501(c)(3) organization that is required to file Form 990, Schedule H.

“Hospitals and health systems are on the front lines in responding to and meeting the needs of communities as they confront the COVID-19 pandemic,” the groups wrote. “This unprecedented effort has disrupted normal clinical and management operations in unforeseen ways. At this time, all resources must be made available to meet the demands of the health and economic emergency we face.”

In addition, the organizations asked that the IRS not impose any penalties if hospitals required to file Schedule H are delayed up to one year in completing a community health needs assessment or implementation plan.
