Stay Current. Stay Compliant.
Always-updated state filing calendars and guides built for small nonprofit teams.

Compliance Toolkit
Compliance deadlines can be overwhelming. Each state has its own rules, forms, and due dates. Missing just one can lead to fines, penalties, or even the loss of good standing. That’s why we created simple, ready-to-use compliance toolkits designed for nonprofits of every size.
The Pain
Every nonprofit admin and operations professional knows the struggle. You’re juggling programs, payroll, and tech issues when a forgotten filing notice lands in your lap.
Cue the panic: what form, what portal, what deadline?
The Fix
The Back Current eliminates that scramble. With plug-and-play state calendars and plain-English lists and guides, you’ll always know what’s due, when, where, and how to file—without hours of research that might be right.
We built The Back Current to take the stress out of nonprofit compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our resources are built for small to mid-sized 501(c)(3) nonprofits—especially operations directors, administrative managers, and solo admins who often wear many hats and don’t have dedicated compliance staff.
We update all compliance products quarterly with the help of a certified paralegal. Even so, we encourage you to double-check deadlines with your state’s website in case something changes mid-quarter.
Single-state products start at $30, with bundle and all-states options available for larger or more complex organizations.
Each state filing calendar is delivered as a PDF and an .ics file. The .ics file plugs right into Google or Outlook, so you’ll see deadlines appear on your calendar automatically.
We offer multi-state calendars and bundles so you can keep track of filings across several states in one place—perfect for remote or multi-location nonprofits.
These tools were created by nonprofit operations professionals who understand the day-to-day challenges of keeping filings organized. They’re built to be practical, affordable, and easy to use.

Each state’s registration guide and withdrawal guide can also be purchased separately, so you only pay for what you need.
No, the Back Current provides informational tools only. They’re meant to make compliance easier to manage, but they are not a substitute for legal, HR, or tax advice.
