Form 990 Online
Form 990 Online is a web-based system that permits nonprofit organizations and their preparers to create their IRS Form 990s online and either electronically file their return with the IRS or print it and mail it in. The system guides the user through the sections of the form that she needs to complete, verifies the math, and imports basic information from previous returns.
Our team received a special commendation from the IRS Commissioner in 2005 for our work on the project and for our leadership in bringing electronic filing to the nonprofit sector. In keeping with our charitable mission, we keep the system completely free for organizations with less than $100,000 in gross receipts and we have a sliding scale for larger organizations.
Besides making it easier for nonprofit organizations to complete their filing requires, the project also results in better quality and more timely information for the general public, government regulators, policymakers, charitable foundations, and all stakeholders that have an interest in understanding and supporting charitable organizations – thus strengthening the capacity of the organizations and communities they serve. Further, the information from the IRS Form 990s is critical to our Community Platform project.
