How to File a Missed Nonprofit Return
The IRS does not support returns from any prior years. You must file prior year returns via an IRS-Authorized E-file Provider.
Below is a simple guide to filing your missed tax returns. All you'll need to do is enter your EIN in our search tool below, or visit Pro990.org to get started. Enter your EIN, fill out the required information submit the missed return and we'll handle the rest. That's it! There are no late-filing penalties for 990-N filers, so no need to worry about your organization's finances.
1. Review Any Missed Years
Enter your nonprofit’s EIN in the Pro990 Search Tool. This helps identify your organization and determine the available filing options.
2. Review Any Missed Years
Check which tax years still need to be filed. If your organization missed more than one year, each missed year may need to be handled separately.
3. File the Missing Return
Once you identify the missed year, complete the required filing through Pro990. Depending on your organization’s size and financial activity, you may need to file Form 990-N or Form 990-EZ.
4. Save Your Confirmation
After filing, save a copy of your confirmation for your organization’s records. This is especially important for nonprofits with rotating officers, board members, treasurers, or volunteers.
Do Not Wait to Get Caught Up
A missed filing is fixable, but ignoring it can create bigger problems. If your nonprofit misses three years in a row, the IRS can automatically revoke its tax-exempt status. Select Register Here to get started today!
