Small tax-exempt organizations must file Form 990-N

The IRS and the Treasury Department have issued final regulations clarifying how and when certain small tax-exempt organizations must file an annual electronic notice.

The final regulations finalize the temporary regulations without substantive change and affect small tax-exempt organizations whose annual gross receipts are not normally in excess of $25,000. They may be required to electronically submit Form 990-N, also known as the e-Postcard, unless they choose to file a complete Form 990 or Form 990-EZ.

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 added this filing requirement to ensure that the IRS and potential donors have current information about tax-exempt organizations.

The first e-Postcards were due in 2008 for tax years ending on or after Dec. 31, 2007. The e-Postcard is due every year by the 15th day of the 5th month after the close of the organization’s tax year. For example, if the organization’s tax year ended on Dec. 31, 2007, the e-Postcard is due May 15, 2008. Organizations cannot file the e-Postcard until after their tax year ends.
