Small tax-exempt organizations with gross receipts of normally $50,000 or less must file Form 990-N each year. This includes most 501(c)(3) organizations that are too small to file Form 990 or Form 990-EZ.
Form 990-N is due by the 15th day of the fifth month after the close of your organization's tax year. For calendar-year organizations (tax year ending December 31), the deadline is May 15.
Form 990-N collects basic information about your organization: legal name, any other names used, mailing address, EIN, principal officer name and address, website (if any), confirmation that gross receipts are normally $50,000 or less, and whether the organization has terminated or is going out of business.
Yes. Even if your nonprofit had no income or activity during the year, you must still file Form 990-N to maintain your tax-exempt status. Failing to file for three consecutive years results in automatic revocation of your federal tax-exempt status.
There is no penalty for late filing of Form 990-N, but you should file as soon as possible. If your organization fails to file for three consecutive years, the IRS will automatically revoke your federal tax-exempt status. Reinstatement requires filing an application and paying a fee.
If your nonprofit's gross receipts exceed the $50,000 threshold, you'll need to file Form 990-EZ or Form 990 instead. Organizations with gross receipts of $200,000 or more, or total assets of $500,000 or more, must file the full Form 990.
