Organizations filing Form 990 may be required to attach certain schedules for reporting additional information, depending on the details they report.
From the 16 Schedules available for Form 990, organizations should attach any and all applicable schedules based on their requirements.
Yes! As per the Taxpayer Act of 2019, the IRS requires organizations to file Form 990 electronically for a tax year ending on or after July 31, 2020.
Get Started with Tax990 and file your Form 990 electronically with the IRS. Supports current (2022) and prior year filings (2021, 2020).
Yes! If your organization needs more time to file Form 990, you can e-file Form 8868 to extend your 990 deadline. The IRS will provide an automatic 6-month extension when you file Form 8868 on or before the original deadline.
This means if your organization follows the calendar tax year and filed an extension, your extended 990 deadline will be November 15.
If you fail to file Form 990 on or before the deadline, the IRS will impose late filing penalties on your organization.
The amount of penalty ranges between $20/day - $110/day for each day past the deadline, based on your organization’s gross receipts.

You have the flexibility to amend any details in your original Form 990, with the exception of the organization's EIN, but this amendment is only possible once the IRS has accepted the initial filing.
If your initial Form 990 was submitted through Tax990, all the field values from the original form will be copies to the amended form when you select the "Amend this Return" option. To effect changes, access the relevant section, select "edit" revise the information, and then proceed to submit the updated form to the IRS.
When you originally filed the 990 form with a different provider, you can still utilize Tax990 to file amendments. This involves entering all the required information in the fields.
Organizations that failed to submit the required Form 990 series returns for three years in a row and lost their tax-exempt status must apply for reinstatement. After your reinstatement application is processed, you can submit your Form 990 to the IRS and indicate that your reinstatement application is currently pending with the IRS.
