The revenue procedure prescribes certain circumstances under which an organization can have its tax- exempt status retroactively reinstated to the date of revocation. Notice 2011-44 is modified. Notice 2011-44 provides guidance with respect to applying for reinstatement of tax-exempt status and requesting retroactive reinstatement under sections 6033(j)(2) and (3) of the Internal Revenue Code for an organization that has had its tax- exempt status automatically revoked under section 6033(j)(1) of the Code.
