The IRS Form 5578 is the Annual Certification of Racial Nondiscrimination required for tax‑exempt private schools and other qualifying organizations. By filing this form, schools confirm they do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin, as mandated by Rev. Proc. 75‑50.
Form 5578 must be filed by any organization that operates a tax‑exempt private school and does not file Form 990 or Form 990‑EZ. The certification is an annual requirement to maintain exemption status and avoid penalties.
