Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about filing Form 990-N online.

IRS Form 990-N, also known as the e-Postcard, is the annual electronic notice required for small tax-exempt organizations with gross receipts of $50,000 or less. It is the simplest form in the 990 series — requiring only basic organizational information — but filing it every year is what keeps a nonprofit's tax-exempt status active and in good standing.
Tax-exempt organizations recognized under Section 501(c) with gross receipts normally at or below $50,000 must file Form 990-N annually. This includes small nonprofits, community organizations, and other exempt entities that don't meet the threshold for Form 990-EZ or the full Form 990.
The due date is the 15th day of the 5th month following the close of the organization's accounting period. For nonprofits on a calendar tax year, that's May 15. Fiscal-year filers have a different date based on when their accounting period ends.
No. Unlike other 990 forms, the Form 990-N deadline cannot be extended using Form 8868. This makes it essential for small nonprofits to file on time every year, without exception.
You'll need your organization's EIN, accounting period, legal name and mailing address, any other names used, principal officer details, your website (if applicable), and confirmation that annual gross receipts are $50,000 or less. If the organization is terminating, a statement of termination is also required.
There's no immediate monetary penalty for a single late filing. However, if a tax-exempt organization fails to file for three consecutive years, the IRS will automatically revoke its tax-exempt status. Reinstatement requires a formal application and payment of a user fee.
Yes. Organizations that qualify to file 990-N may voluntarily choose to file Form 990-EZ or the full Form 990 to demonstrate greater financial transparency to donors and grant-makers — even when the simpler e-Postcard would technically suffice.
