ExpressTaxExempt – #1 for Tax-Exempt 990 Forms
Who is Eligible to File: You must e-file a Form 990-N (e-Postcard) if your organization typically has gross receipts of less than $50,000 per year. The exception to the rule only applies to organizations that are in group returns; churches and their integrated auxiliaries, conventions, or associations of churches, or organizations that need to file a different return.
About the Form: The Form 990-N (e-Postcard) has to be done online – there’s no paper form. There also aren’t any schedules to complete, and you can’t file an extension for it. You’ll need the required eight pieces of information to successfully e-file Form 990-N (e-Postcard):
- Employer Identification Number (EIN)
- Tax Year
- Legal Name & Address
- Different Names Used By The Organization, if applicable
- Website, if applicable
- Name & Address Of A Principal Officer
- Confirmation Of Gross Receipts Of $50,000 Or Less
