The list of states requiring Form 990 (or information from the return) for the specific purpose of charitable solicitation registration and reporting is as follows: Alabama. Alaska Arkansas. California. Colorado Connecticut. Florida. Georgia.
The 990, 990EZ or 990PF should be mailed to Georgia Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 740395, Atlanta GA 30374-0395.
