What is IRS Form 990-N?
IRS Form 990-N, often referred to as the "e-Postcard", is a document that most small, tax-exempt organizations whose annual gross receipts total less than $50,000 must file.
This annual reporting requirement informs the IRS about your activities, helps promote public trust in the charitable sector, safeguards the tax system's integrity, and upholds accountability standards for enjoying tax benefits.
Who Files a 990-N?
Generally speaking, small tax exempt organizations with annual gross receipts totaling less than $50,000 may file Form 990-N.
When to File 990-N
Your form must be submitted annually by the 15th day of the 5th month following the close of your tax year.
A group whose tax year follows the calendar year (January 1 to December 31) would have a filing deadline of May 15. If the ending date of your tax year is July 31, your due date is December 15.

✓ EIN Number
✓ Tax year
✓ Legal name
✓ Any other names in use
✓ Mailing address
