IRS Form 990 Help

IRS Form 990

All nonprofit organizations that raise any amount of money must file an IRS 990-series return. There is no longer an exception for small organizations that raise under a specific dollar limit. Therefore, each RENOSI client organization must file it's own 990-series return.

Most RENOSI packages include filing of the IRS Form 990N (e-postcard). An additional discounted fee applies for assisted filing of the 990EZ or Full 990.

We file for you.

Our 990N and 990EZ wizards help you submit your information so we can file your taxes. Already a member? Access our wizards through your registration dashboard.

We must receive your 990EZ information no later than 45 days prior to the due date or expedited rates will apply.

²

Service fee to extend filing if information is not received at least 60 days prior to the due date (EZ and Full).

We keep track for you.

Your 990 is due the 15th day of the 5th month after the end of your fiscal year (e.g., May 15th if your fiscal year ends December 31). We'll send you a reminder when it's time to file.

Your organization sets its own fiscal year.*

Occasionally, the IRS makes an error when recording a fiscal year end in its database. In the event of an error, the simplest solution is to use this new fiscal year end moving forward. Changing the fiscal year is often neither fast nor easy. For more information, see our DIY guide on Changing Your Fiscal Year End with the IRS.

What about deadlines and penalties?

Extension	If you can’t meet the deadline and need an extension, download and file the IRS 990 Extension (Form 8868) PDF. Please note that you cannot get an extension to file IRS Form 990N. You will be required to file the much longer 990EZ or full 990.¹
Penalty	Failure to timely file 990 returns for three (3) consecutive years will result in automatic revocation of your organization's 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.
Revoked organizations	If you receive a notice from the IRS that your organization’s tax-exempt status has been revoked, you cannot file a 990-series until your exemption is reinstated. See What if your organization is revoked?
