What is the full, current board roster and officer titles listed on Turning Point USA’s official governance filings (IRS Form 990) before and after September 2025?
Executive summary
Publicly available Form 990 records for Turning Point USA exist and are hosted by both the organization and third‑party databases, but the materials provided in the briefing do not include a parsed, up‑to‑date list of every board member and officer title as of immediately before and after September 2025; the records that are referenced (the organization's posted 2023 Form 990 and ProPublica/IRS copies) are the authoritative places to check for that information [1] [2]. Reporting in September 2025 cites a leadership change involving Erika Kirk but the specific Form 990 entries showing a board roster “before” versus “after” that date are not reproduced in the sources supplied to this inquiry [3] [4].
1. What the user is actually asking — and why Form 990 matters
The request seeks a precise, document‑level comparison: the full names and officer titles recorded on Turning Point USA’s IRS governance filings immediately before and immediately after September 2025, which means extracting the “officers, directors, trustees and key employees” lines that Form 990 requires organizations to disclose; the IRS explains that Form 990 is the federal return where tax‑exempt organizations list officers, directors and key employees and their roles, making Form 990 the canonical source for this question [5].
2. What official filings are available in the provided reporting
The organization’s own posted 2023 Form 990 is cited in the briefing materials and hosted on Turning Point’s site, and ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer preserves a full filing for Turning Point USA that researchers commonly use to read the names and titles reported to the IRS [1] [2]. CauseIQ and DocumentCloud also host prior Form 990s (including 2022) that can be downloaded to view the roster pages directly [6] [7].
3. What the supplied sources explicitly show — and what they do not
The snippets and metadata supplied confirm that Form 990 filings exist for Turning Point USA for prior years and are accessible via the IRS, the organization’s website, and aggregators such as ProPublica, CauseIQ and DocumentCloud [1] [2] [6] [7]. The materials in the briefing do not, however, include a cut‑and‑paste or rendered list of the “full, current board roster and officer titles” for the precise dates requested, so the files themselves must be opened to extract that line‑by‑line roster information — a step the current reporting package did not complete for this query [2] [1].
4. Media context around September 2025 and why corroboration matters
News coverage in September 2025 referenced leadership developments at Turning Point USA and included statements about Erika Kirk’s role and investigatory rumors; CBS reported Treasury/IRS officials had communicated about Form 990 deadlines in that context and that Form 990 is the tax return that records officers and compensation, which underlines why reporters and the public turn to these filings for verification [4]. A secondary site in the briefing claims Erika Kirk became board chair after events in September 2025, but that claim appears in a non‑mainstream outlet in the set of search results and should be corroborated against the actual Form 990 or primary organizational announcements [3].
5. How to get the definitive before/after roster and limits of available reporting
To produce the exact, legally filed roster entries for “before” and “after” September 2025 requires opening the organization’s Form 990 filings covering the fiscal year that ended just prior to September 2025 and any amended or successor Form 990 filed after that date; the authoritative sources for that data are the IRS Form 990 itself (via IRS download), the copy posted on Turning Point’s site (2023 Form 990 is linked in the briefing), and ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer where the full filing is archived [5] [1] [2]. The present reporting package does not include a verbatim extraction of those roster lines, so this analysis cannot assert the exact pre‑ and post‑September‑2025 roster entries with line‑by‑line names and titles without consulting those PDFs directly [1] [2].
6. Conclusion and transparency about gaps
The filing trail and reputable aggregators exist and are cited in the briefing, but the briefing’s supplied snippets stop short of the concrete roster transcription requested; therefore, while it is verifiable that Form 990 is the document to consult and that Turning Point USA’s Form 990s are available on Turning Point’s site and ProPublica [5] [1] [2], the exact full board roster and officer titles “before and after September 2025” cannot be reproduced here from the supplied excerpts alone and should be extracted directly from those Form 990 PDFs for an authoritative, auditable comparison [1] [2].
