From Sue's response to a similar question in 2009 I found the following

link with some stats: http://nccsdataweb.urban.org/knowledgebase/detail.php?linkID=214&categor...

it seems it is quite common to get the extensions, and I'm assuming the WMF did that again in the past years. But someone from admin can probably confirm.

Upon reviewing this 990 form:

It says May 9th 2016 on the bottom which I assume is the date of filing.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/2/27/Form_990_FY_2014-2015... Publication was the 18th of May

https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Financial_reports&type...

This form was for the period ending June 30, 2015. Now the IRS states on page 5 of this document that these forms are to be filled by the 15th day of the 5th months after that date which would be Nov 15th, 2015. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i990.pdf

Why was this form published 6 months late? Did we pay the $18,000 late fee or were multiple 3 month extensions applied for? Do we expect next year's 990 to be published by the deadline?
