Step 1: Gather your nonprofit information
Before you begin, make sure you have the following details ready:
- EIN (Employer Identification Number)
- Legal name and mailing address
- Website URL (if you have one)
- Name of a principal officer
- Tax year start and end dates
Tip
Keeping this information in one place makes next year’s filing even faster.
Step 2: Confirm eligibility
Your nonprofit can typically file Form 990-N if it has gross receipts normally under $50,000.
Step 3: Submit the IRS e-Postcard
The 990-N must be filed electronically each year. The process is simple and requires only basic organizational details.
Step 4: Save your confirmation
After submission, the IRS sends an acceptance confirmation. Save this email and keep it in your nonprofit’s compliance records.
