It depends on what you need from the IRS. New organizations applying for 501(c)(3) status start with the Form 1023 guide. Organizations that moved or changed responsible party use Form 8822-B. Organizations with a penalty notice use Form 843. If your e-file keeps rejecting for information you already updated, use the e-file database update letter.
Most tax-exempt organizations file an annual return from the Form 990 series. Organizations with gross receipts normally $50,000 or less can file Form 990-N (e-Postcard). Tax990 e-files Form 990, 990-EZ, 990-N, 990-PF, 990-T, and more.
