Form 990, Part IX, Line 24e Expenses for publishing books and journals. I struggled trying to find a way to e-file. The instructions on the IRS website don't explain what to do with the pdf version of the 990 (also on the IRS website). It was only after completing the pdf 990 that I learned it is useless because it can't be uploaded directly to the IRS, nor can it be printed and mailed since 990s after 2019 (or whatever) need to be e-filed. So I contact IRS support, which was helpful, but unfortunately confirmed that everything I filled out using the pdf form on the IRS website would need to be redone using one of the 3rd party e-filing services. Hence, I missed my filing deadline by 48 hours.
