Most associations I know never got a rescrit fiscal and never got audited. Also, you would only get penalties if you were not actually eligible for tax deductible donations, which is usually obvious whether it’s the case or not, so no need for government confirmation.
Do you know some associations who did? How’s the process?
The one I know is outside of EA (they help people in Cameroon). The info I got about this being important and the timeline was mostly from the guy who runs it, who has experience with multiple associations. Basically you send paperwork via mail.
The “risking audits” part I got from here (third paragraph counting from the end).
