WHY YOU NEED TO FILE
Your mission is too important to risk a missed Form 990-N Filing
Form 990-N is the simplest return the IRS offers. But skipping it carries the same consequences as any other missed filing.
The cost isn't a just penalty. It's your exempt status, your donor trust, and everything your organization has worked to build.
Tax990 makes sure it never comes to that.
Required annually
No activity? Low revenue? Doesn't matter. Most small tax-exempt organizations must file 990-N every year.
Protect your tax-exempt status
Three consecutive years of non-filing result in automatic revocation of your exempt status by the IRS.
Due 5.5 months after your fiscal year ends
For calendar-year filers, the deadline is May 15. There is no extension available.
Public disclosure required
Filed 990-N forms are publicly available. Accuracy matters — our built-in audit check reviews every line before you submit.

Tax990 has benefited the filing process, that it's so much easier than trying to do it by hand filing. It's quicker and it's far more accurate because of the audit feature. I wish I had been using it for a long time.

I’ve been using Tax990 for three years now. I use any number of different services but I didn't find a single one of them had everything I needed. Another great thing I find is that the support people are quite responsive, they’re quick, they're accurate and they’re reliable.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions about Form 990-N
IRS Form 990-N, also known as the e-Postcard, is the annual electronic notice required by the IRS for small tax-exempt organizations with gross receipts of $50,000 or less.
It is the simplest form in the IRS 990 series, requiring only basic organizational information. But filing it every year is what keeps a nonprofit's tax-exempt status active and in good standing.
Tax-exempt organizations recognized under Section 501(c) with gross receipts normally at or below $50,000 are required to file Form 990-N annually with the IRS.
This includes small nonprofits, community organizations, and other exempt entities that do not meet the threshold for Form 990-EZ or Form 990.
Organizations eligible to file Form 990-N may also voluntarily file Form 990 or Form 990-EZ to provide greater financial transparency to donors and the public.
The Form 990-N due date is the 15th day of the 5th month following the close of the organization's accounting period.
For nonprofits operating on a calendar tax year, the Form 990-N deadline is May 15. Organizations following a fiscal tax year will have a different due date based on when their accounting period ends.
Tax990 provides a free 990-N due date calculator to help organizations identify their exact filing deadline.
Here is all the information you’ll need to file 990-N Online:
- Organization’s EIN
- Organization’s accounting period
- Legal name and mailing address
- Other names of the organization
- Principal officer details
- Organization’s website address (if applicable)
- Confirmation that the organization's annual gross receipts are $50,000 or less
- Statement of termination (if applicable)
No! Form 990-N has no schedule requirements.
Unlike Form 990, Form 990-EZ, or Form 990-PF, which may require multiple supporting schedules, the 990-N e-Postcard asks only for basic information.
No! The Form 990-N deadline cannot be extended using Form 8868 (unlike other 990 forms). This makes it essential for small nonprofits to file on time every year.
There is no immediate monetary penalty for a late Form 990-N filing. However, if a tax-exempt organization fails to file Form 990-N for three consecutive years, the IRS will automatically revoke the organization's tax-exempt status
No! The IRS does not permit an amended return for Form 990-N.
Yes! A tax-exempt organization that qualifies to file Form 990-N may voluntarily choose to file Form 990-EZ or the full Form 990 to satisfy its annual IRS reporting requirement.
Some organizations opt for this to demonstrate greater financial accountability to donors, grant-makers, and watchdog organizations, even when a simple e-Postcard would suffice.
Form 990-N is filed by small public tax-exempt organizations with gross receipts of $50,000 or less to maintain their exempt status with the IRS.
Form 990-PF, on the other hand, is filed by private foundations regardless of their financial size, and requires detailed reporting on investment income, grants, charitable activities, and officer compensation.
