It depends. The URS has become outdated since its inception and is not actively kept up-to-date today, making it an ineffective choice for many nonprofit organizations. We’ll cover some specific reasons why in a section below. However, the URS might still be a helpful tool in a few limited scenarios. Nonprofit teams that are already very familiar with their registration and renewal requirements can use the URS to save time. Professional nonprofit compliance experts might also use the URS to streamline multiple registrations in some situations. It’s generally not recommended that smaller organizations or those that are new to complex filing requirements use or rely on the URS in its current form unless necessary.
