including all schedules and amendments, submitted by the charitable trust to the Internal Revenue
Service for the period covered in the trust's accounting year last completed. If the charitable trust
does not file a federal tax or information return, it shall file a balance sheet and a statement of
income and expenses for the accounting year last completed.

before the 15th day of the fifth month following the close of the charitable trust's taxable year as
established for federal tax purposes. The time for filing may be extended by application to the
attorney general, for up to six months, provided the applicant has requested an extension to file its
federal tax return under section 6081 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. A charitable trust that
files the information required under this subdivision with the attorney general is not required to
file the same information with the commissioner of revenue.

under subdivision 1 for a particular charitable trust for a reasonable, specifically designated time

the interests of the beneficiaries will not be prejudiced by the suspension and that the information
required by this section is not required for proper supervision by the attorney general's office.
