Organizations that operate on a calendar tax year (January – December) have a major tax filing deadline coming up on May 15th. If you have filed a Form 990 or Form 990-EZ before, you know that there are “Schedules” that are attached to your return which provides necessary additional information regarding your organization.
There are a total of 24 Schedules between Form 990 & 990-EZ; today we will focus on the most commonly filed Schedule (Schedule A) and its newly developed features with our sister product TaxBandits. Here’s what you need to know about new Schedule A features just in time for the May 15 deadline.
New Schedule A Features Just In Time For The May 15 Deadline
TaxBandits makes the e-filing process easier for all of our clients by automatically generating Schedule A once you provide answers to prompted questions when preparing your Form with our software.
Well, we have talked about it enough, so let’s dive into the world of Schedule A.
What is Schedule A?
Schedule A is used by tax-exempt organizations or any organization that files Form 990/990-EZ to provide information about its public charity status and public support. This Schedule allows your organization to explain its program services and give its mission statement or other descriptions of its charitable goals.
Essentially, any non-profit that is supported by the public must file this Schedule along with their Form 990.
