Trouble Finding the Right 990 Form? Let ExpressTaxExempt Make It Easy!

It’s important to know which tax return you’re required to file for your exempt organization – filing the incorrect form to the IRS gets rejected as an incomplete return, which can lead to penalties. The last thing you want is to pay thousands of dollars for a mistake that is easily avoidable.

For nonprofits, charities, and other organizations with exemption status, it’s mandatory that you correctly file the following forms with the IRS based on your organization’s gross receipts and assets:

• IRS Form 990-N (e-Postcard) – Organizations with gross receipts less than $50,000
• IRS Form 990-EZ (short form) – Organizations with gross receipts between $50,000 and $200,000, and total assets less than $500,000
• IRS Form 990 (long) – Organizations with gross receipts greater than $200,000 and total assets greater than $500,000

The Right Form with ExpressTaxExempt
Selecting the correct 990 form with ExpressTaxExempt.com couldn’t be more straightforward. If you know your organization makes less than $50,000, you can choose to e-file the “990-N (e-Postcard)” or “Form 990 Series” if your organization brings in more money.

With the “Form 990 Series” option, we simply ask what your gross receipts are – either less than $200,000 or greater than $200,000. Whichever answer you choose, the appropriate form is automatically generated for you.

And the best part – let’s say our program creates a Form 990-EZ based on your answer for gross receipts; however, the amounts you’ve entered for total revenue are over $200,000. ExpressTaxExempt.com will suggest you e-file the 990 (long) and will allow you to continue with your new form without having to start from the beginning again.
