Past-due 990-N e-Postcard? No worries!

Lets address the elephant in the room. You may have read that the IRS assesses daily late-filing penalties for nonprofits. While this is true for other forms, 990-N filers are not assessed the same late filing penalty. In-fact, they are not penalized by the IRS. However, you should not simply ignore the missed return. 

Should I still file a past-due return?

Yes! Here's the thing: Even though the IRS does not penalize for late  or missing 990-N filings, there can be other repercussions. If your organization is missing filings, it can raise questions about how responsible you are with your organization's finances. Donors often review filing history to ensure your organization is legitimate. 

It can also affect grant applications. If your organization is missing filings, you may be ineligible to receive government and private grants. 

Can I file through the IRS for Free?

It depends. If you are filing a current year filing, you can still file through the IRS poprtal. All other filing types and filing years must be filed via an Authorized E-File Provider. That's where we come in! Not only can you file through us, you get free access to the nonprofit dashboard and courtesy emails each year to ensure you never miss a filing again.
