As a nonprofit organization, staying compliant with the IRS is crucial for maintaining your tax-exempt status. One essential step in this process is filing Form 990-N, also known as the e-Postcard. In this blog post, we'll explain what IRS Form 990-N is, why you should choose 990.tax to file it, and the benefits of using our platform over the IRS website.
IRS Form 990-N is an annual electronic notice (e-Postcard) that small tax-exempt organizations must file with the IRS. Small tax-exempt organizations are those with annual gross receipts of $50,000 or less.
Form 990-N is due by the 15th day of the 5th month after the close of your tax year. For example, if your tax year ends on June 30, 2023, your Form 990-N is due on November 15, 2023.
The purpose of this form is to provide the IRS with basic information about the organization, including its legal name, mailing address, website, and other essential data. Filing Form 990-N helps maintain your nonprofit's tax-exempt status and ensure transparency.
While the IRS offers online filing for the current year's Form 990-N, there are several benefits to using 990.tax instead:
Previous Year Filing: If your organization misses the deadline to file Form 990-N, the IRS does not support filing for previous years. However, with 990.tax, you can easily file taxes for previous years and stay compliant.

Automatic Filing of State-Required Forms: With 990.tax, you can also take care of state-specific filing requirements, such as California Form 199N with the California Franchise Tax Board, and RRF-1 and CT-TR-1 forms with the Attorney General's office. Our platform ensures that all the necessary forms are filed accurately and on time, streamlining the process for your organization.
Automatic Reminders: 990.tax sends automatic reminders to help you stay on top of deadlines and avoid penalties or loss of tax-exempt status. You'll never miss a filing deadline again!
