How To: Filing An Annual Tax Exempt Return For a New Organization
Are you new to the wonderful world of nonprofit/tax exempt organizations? Express990.com would like to be the first to welcome you and get you ready for e-filing your organizations IRS Form 990.
Let’s take a look at the process…
Once you receive a confirmation from the IRS that they have you filed as a tax-exempt organization, you may begin gathering the information you need to file. You need to determine which 990 form to file by knowing your total gross receipts for the tax period…
- Form 990-N – $50,000 or less a year in gross receipts
- Form 990-EZ – $200,000 or less a year, or total assets of less than $500,000
- Form 990 – $200,000 or more a year, or total assets greater than or equal to $500,000
Next, after you determine which 990 form to file and have all the needed information to enter, it’s time to get started.
