Relax, It’s only the 990-N Deadline
This deadline comes but once a year
When the sun is bright and shines so clear
File your 990-N on the 15th of May
You have ’til midnight on this day
but have no fear, your hero, Express990.com is here
The clock is counting down and time to e-file your 990-N is quickly ticking away. No need to panic, we have 3 steps to calm your nerves and take the stress of Deadline Day off your shoulders:
Step 1 – Re-read the limerick above. Studies show reading a poem or listening to a song with a rhyme scheme reduces stress. And some reassurance that Express990 is on your side will dramatically make you feel better about life.
Step 2 – Breathe in deeply & slowly exhale. A majority of your stress has just now exited your body – isn’t it nice. OK, now that you are more focused, let’s gather what you will need to e-file your Form 990-N (e-Postcard):
- You will need your business information including: EIN/TIN, legal name and address, different names the organization uses, website (if any), name and address of a Principal Officer, confirmation of gross receipts of $50,000 or less. You will need to provide a statement that the organization is going out of business, if applicable.
Step 3 – Create an account with Express990.com and select Form 990-N. Simply follow the instructions and transmit your return to the IRS. Then, feel the stress of the deadline just lift off your shoulders.
Oh wait, did you file for previous tax years 2012 & 2011?
Well you can Keep Calm and E-file On – my friend, Express990.com provides e-filing of 990-N for previous tax years too! You will need the business information you have put together from Step 2, and we will walk you right through it.
You should feel accomplished – by e-filing your 990-N before the Deadline, you have successfully avoided losing your tax-exempt status and you do not have to deal with Form 990-N again until next year (Virtual High-Five). Just make sure to track your finances properly and keep them neatly organized for next year.
