IRS Revokes Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame Nonprofit Status

FOX23 learned the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame’s nonprofit status was revoked by the Internal Revenue Service.

FOX23 previously reported about ongoing financial problems at the Jazz Hall, like the nonprofit bouncing checks to Tulsa County for insurance payments, part of its lease agreement.

The Jazz Hall of Fame also is behind on its Downtown Improvement District Assessment fee. Tulsa County told FOX23 it was due at the end of September, but not paid yet; it owes $8,239.

FOX23 found out that Jazz Hall has been behind filing its taxes. Nonprofits are required to fill out what's called a 990 form every year. They’re also required to provide that info to anyone who asks.
