E-file IRS Postcard 990-N with Tax2efile in minutes
What is a 990-N e-Postcard used for?
Form 990-N or also referred to as an e-postcard is utilized to file annual income tax returns to the IRS by tax-exempt organizations. Form 990-N is used to file a gross receipt (less than $50K) that reports the total amounts the organization received from all sources during its annual accounting period, without subtracting any costs or expenses. Form 990-N should be submitted electronically to the IRS since the IRS currently does not have a paper 990-N Form.
Who Needs to File Form 990-N e-Postcard?
Small tax-exempt organizations generally are eligible to file Form 990-N to satisfy their annual reporting requirement, if their annual gross receipts are normally $50,000 or less. However, some organizations aren’t eligible to use Form 990-N (e-Postcard) even if their gross receipts are normally $50,000 or less. These organizations must file different forms instead to satisfy their annual reporting requirement. For example, a subordinate organization in a group exemption that is included in a group return filed by its central organization does not file Form 990-N because the group return satisfies its annual reporting requirement.
